How a bear became a book: the collaboration that created Winnie-the-Pooh

"In 1926, the very first Winnie-the-Pooh book was published, and since then, generations of children have grown up in the Hundred Acre Wood. 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 inimitable voice enters the text, he slowly comes to life in the art, and before long, so do other familiar faces like Piglet, Eeyore, and Tigger. Textually delightful and visually stunning, this is a picture book about the making of picture books, but it is also a masterful introduction to the beauty of ideas, storytelling, collaboration, art, and, most important, honey." -- Front jacket flap.
