Before Winnie-the-Pooh, there was a real bear named Winnie. And she was a girl!
In 1914, Harry Colebourn, a veterinarian on his way to tend horses in World War I, followed his heart and rescued a baby bear. He named her Winnie, after his hometown of Winnipeg, and he took the bear to war. Harry Colebourn's real-life great-granddaughter tells 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.
Here is the remarkable true story of the bear who inspired Winnie-the-Pooh.

This is one of many children's books in our war museum and memorial. We needed back up copies for when school field trips start up again.

A gem that started on the CPR Platform in White River Ontario, my hometown. Excellent book, and quite factual too!

Grew up in White River, so this is a special book for me. And I'm no kid!!! But look at it every so often, picturing the station platform where the wee bear was purchased......and who would have thought the stories that would come out of Winnie (for Winnipeg) where the Officer was from.

Everybody loves this book. When I first saw it on the shelves of the Children's books at Indigo in Montreal, I knew at once that I had to have it. I sent a copy to my grand-daughter but people of all ages love it. I have one friend who immediately ordered five copies. There is something very special about that book.
