Overview

In 1926, the very first Winnie-the-Pooh book was published. One hundred years later, generations of kids have grown up with the world's most famous bear. It is also safe to say we are all familiar with Pooh's iconic voice, slow and sweet as honey and full of adorable Pooh-isms. How a Bear Became a Book tells the story of how writer, illustrator, and editor came together to craft Pooh's first adventure. But deeper than that, this book introduces our youngest readers to how stories begin and where they can go. As Pooh's voice enters the text, he slowly comes to life in the art. Textually delightful and visually stunning, this is a picture book about the making of picture books, but it is also a masterful story about ideas, storytelling, collaboration, art, and most importantly, honey.
