" These time tested and enchanting poems revolve around the world of a very young Christopher Robin as he meditates on the nature of, among other things, chairs and stairs and squares and prayers. They also brush up against some of the adventures of Edward Bear (aka Winnie the Pooh) Then there are those poems that take pause to consider the world around said boy and bear, sometimes waxing whimsical and other times moving towards the meditative. This collection provides a fine mix of verse to graze lightly upon or, as I was prompted, commit to memory. "

" This book and Now We are Six are my very favorite books of poems from my childhood, and I think my kids would agree for their childhoods as well. I just had to buy myself new copies :) "

" Very cute collection of poems. I definitely like the Pooh stories much better, but these poems were fun and short. I could see them being excellent to read to a small child before bed or to help teach a child to read. "

" I love how Winnie the Pooh is almost more for adults than kids. And when you can understand the "adult stuff" at a younger age, you feel so grown up. I love Bad Sir Brian Botany. "

" Not only did I love many poems in this book, but the illustrations are great. However, I found myself relying on the pictures a lot to understand the poem, This is not my favorite poem book, but I do think it would be great for young children. "

" I didn't know it was a book of poems so I was pleasantly surprised at this discovery! All round it was ok. My absolute favourite poems were "The Christening", "Puppy and I", "The Three Foxes", "Before Tea" and "Vespers". They were gems hidden within making When We Were Very Young worthwhile. "

" These stories are a great way to enter the imaginary world of a child's mind. The poems are light and happy and seem to be read in a sort of sing-song way. Children will love to read these poems out loud. The charming Whinnie the Pooh characters are pictured in the book as well. "

" We read the first two in the series, but even though Gabriel was entertained by the books, he wasn't enthralled by them. He can take or leave Edward Bear aka Winnie-ther-Pooh. He does seem to like Tigger though--must be because they are both so bouncy!

" Christopher Robin Milne is said to have complained bitterly that his childhood was co-opted by his father, and critics decry the books for being too "precious." But for me, at 10 or 11, the pre-Disney Pooh stories and two small volumes of poetry were beyond reproach.
