Finding Winnie

In 1914, Harry Colebourn, a veterinarian on his way to tend horses in World War I, rescued a baby bear, named her Winnie, and took her to war. This is the true story of a remarkable friendship and an even more remarkable journey—from the fields of Canada to a convoy across the ocean to an army base in England—and finally to the London Zoo, where Winnie made another new friend: a real boy named Christopher Robin. You know the rest.

Recommended for ages 3 to 6 years.

The original Winnie-the-Pooh and friends are on display at the Polonsky Exhibition of The New York Public Library’s Treasures.
