 by Barbara J. Feldman Christopher Robin's Winnie the Pooh Character Guide 5-STARS (Spectacular!) Topher's fan site has lots more to offer than the character guide, but the who's who of Pooh is a good place to start your site tour. After that, poke around to find the games, which include quizzes, a word search, a crossword, and my personal favorite, the Winnie-the-Pooh Mad Lib. Another best-bet click is "Winnie-the-Pooh FAQ: Your Frequently Asked Questions And Other Things You Should Know" which nicely organizes answers to over a hundred Pooh questions. |
 Saturday mornings, when I was a boy, were reserved for cartoons and kid shows. I remember watching The Bugs Bunny - Road Runner Show, Johnny Quest, and a kid's game show called Shenanigans, hosted by Stubby Kaye. What I enjoyed was the variety of shows that were on. Today's website brings back some of those memories. It is a site called Topher's Castle, and is a collection of sites and links for kids ages 7 to 12. What is so interesting at this site is the variety of subject matter that is available. Everything from Winnie the Pooh, to Goosebumps, to Star Wars, even cartoon characters. Each area contains a web page, along with links to other sites with similar subject matter. For example, the is one link to a site with over 100 Winnie the Pooh links. A link to a site for Johnny Quest was one of my favorites, since that show made a big impact on me when I was growing up. Plan on spending some time when you get to this site. It will entertain both young and old, rich and poor, and both boys and girls. So if you are looking for a good site to curl up with tonight, I would recommend this one. https://www.lavasurfer.com/cereal-guide.html |

Learning LinksHappy Birthday, A.A. Milne!This week, the beloved author of Winnie-the-Pooh would have turned 123 years old, if he were still alive today. A.A. Milne was born January 18, 1882 in Scotland. He moved to England as a child and lived there for the rest of his life. The first Winnie-the-Pooh book was published in 1926. A.A. Milne's only child, who inspired the stories, was named Christopher Robin. A.A. Milne named "Winnie" after a bear at the London Zoo. Why was Winnie called "The Pooh"? "The Pooh" came from two places, both mentioned in the book "Winnie-the-Pooh." Christopher Robin once had a swan that he called "Pooh." The book explains "that was a long time ago, and when we said good-bye, we took the name with us, as we didn't think the swan would want it any more." What a funny idea! The second explanation says "'The Pooh' came from the noise Winnie makes when he uses his mouth to blow flies off his nose. This became a necessity when Winnie's arms got stuck for a week in a raised position (sticking straight up in the air) after hanging onto a blue balloon, high in the air, for a long period of time, in an unsuccessful attempt to get some hunny [honey] from a bee hive up in a tree." Over the years, Pooh has had, or earned, a number of names including: Edward Bear, Pooh Bear, Winnie-ther-Pooh, F.O.P. (Friend of Piglets), R. C. (Rabbit's Companion), P.D. (Pole Discoverer), E.C. and T.F. (Eeyore's Comforter and Tail Finder), Bear of Very Little Brain, Sir Pooh de Bear, and 1st Mate.
