Winnie the Pooh may be world-famous but he is a humble little bear who can be easily pleased with a jar of hunny. He is dear to his friends and his friends are dear to him. In the tweets below I tried to show the history of Pooh. Who created this beloved fictional character and who has helped this him to live in our hearts and memories.

Our throwback Thursday is this vintage Winnie the Pooh book illustrated by Helen Page. Pooh doesn’t have his iconic red sweater here. Produced in 1946 it’s a rare look at our beloved Pooh. #winniethepooh #vintagebooks pic.twitter.com/G4SWwzbsXy

Happy 7th anniversary to Winnie the Pooh, a really sweet and charming little movie that was Disney's last hand-drawn feature. With Christopher Robin coming out, I hope more people discover it. pic.twitter.com/o6LZXW6s9B

i love Winnie the pooh and the 100-acre woods.
Tigger remains my favorite character but the stories are touching and warm. The tweets are amazing!
