Winnie the Bear is the biography of a Canadian black bear adopted by Lieutenant Harry Colebourn and named after the city of Winnipeg. A kind veterinarian who was en route overseas at the beginning of World War I, Colebourn nurtured the young cub at training camps in Valcartier, Quebec, and on the Salisbury Plain. Appleby takes us on Winnie and Harry's journey and through the story of her own research, which is all the more fascinating for her family's connection to Harry Colebourn. Appleby's insights into the remarkable chain of events in Winnie the Bear's life reveal the bear's truly inspirational role in the creation of A. A. Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh books.… (meer)
What a lovely book....full of beautiful pictures and illustrations, along with the true story of the bear that became Winnie-the-Pooh and the man who donated her to the London Zoo.
Ms. Appleby has done a lot of research on Harry Colebourn, a Canadian veterinarian who purchased a black bear cub on his way overseas to fight in the First World War. He named the bear "Winnie" after his home town of Winnipeg. That much, I'd heard before. And, I'd read that A.A. Milne's son became enchanted by Winnie on visits to the London Zoo, where Winnie was awaiting Harry's return from battle. Ms. Appleby has given us a much deeper look at Harry and Winnie and how Winnie-the-Pooh came to be. ( )

Some people are "good with children", just as others are "good with animals". It isn't just that they like them and enjoy playing with them. There is a mysterious something about them that the child -- or animal -- is unconsciously and immediately aware of. The animal loses its fear, the child his shyness. The animal lets itself be touched. The child starts scrambling all over you. -- Christopher R. Milne, The Enchanted Place.

And they gave something to the world that captured the imagination of one small boy, an author and an illustrator, who, in turn, brought a bear to the world for the enjoyment of millions of others.
