“What day is it?” asked Pooh
“It’s today,” squeaked Piglet
“My favorite day,” said Pooh
Happy National Winnie the Pooh Day! 🍯
January 18th is the birthday of A.A. Milne, the author who introduced the world to Winnie the Pooh. The character is inspired by a plush toy that he brought home to his son, Christopher Robin. In the book, Milne wrote stories about Pooh and his friends in the Hundred Acre Wood. Disney acquired rights to the book and its characters in 1961. Throughout the years, Pooh has become a lovable character in the Disney franchise.
