From the Paper
"Most people when they are young are introduced to stories and nursery rhymes as an initiation to the world of communication and learning. Preschool and primary school teachers use fairy tales, nursery rhymes and children's stories in order to engage their students so that the students will enjoy school and want to learn more. This is the beginning of learning to read and write. Somewhere along the line however due to social pressure, state and federal testing guidelines and other demands ..."

Abstract
This paper looks at children's literature in Great Britain in the first half of the 20th century and considers whether children's books of that time gave access to the voices of children of that time. The books consulted are E.E. Milne's "Winnie-the-Pooh" and "The House at Pooh Corner", and C.S. Lewis's "The Magician's Nephew". In conclusion, the author of this paper states that even in books written about children and for children, children seem to be all but mute due partly to the various agendas of their authors.
From the Paper
"The first half of the 20th century was a dynamic and volatile time historically for Great Britain, given that during this time Great Britain played a primary role in two world wars, and also that - at the time - it was the most dominant nation in the world, with a huge colonial empire that spanned the globe. By the end of this period, Great Britain had begun to be eclipsed by the USA, as the USA leveraged its scientific and military might to gain global ascendancy. Also during this period began the huge changes associated with decolonization, as nation after nation claimed independence. This of course had a massive impact on Great Britain, as her colonial possessions were part of what made the British nation rich, powerful and strong. All in all, it was a time in which British power and control was slipping away. Yet at the same time, many Brits still retained a self-image of themselves as rulers of the world, and assumed that British standards of morality, decency and behaviors were universally valid (Cannon). This self-image, as we shall see, comes through more clearly in children's books than do the authentic voices of children."

From the Paper
"Christopher Robin Milne died on April 20, 1996. He was the original Christopher Robin who owned the stuffed bear called Winnie-the-Pooh and his father A. A. Milne wrote some of the world's most famous children's books about his son and his toy animals. The obituaries for Christopher Milne stressed the fact that the "attention this brought him from Pooh fans didn't always sit well with the real Christopher Robin" ("Transition" 87). But in his autobiography, The Enchanted Places, which deals mainly with his childhood, Milne did not express any dislike for the books. The main problem that he had with his fame was that it was never really his own fame. The question that bothered him the most about the books was whether they had really been written for him, as his father sometimes claimed, or whether he was just the source of an idea that his father could use for his own purposes. In the book Milne tries to understand why it always seemed to him that his father had only pretended to write the books for him."

Abstract
This paper discusses A. A. Milne's final book in the "Pooh" series, "The House at Pooh Corner". The paper examines how Milne shows the importance of both education and imagination through the storyline in this book. The paper claims that Milne wants to teach children preparing to start school to approach it as a new adventure, a new world to explore, but they must remember to bring imagination with them.
From the Paper
"For years, A.A. Milne has charmed young readers with his lovable characters, Pooh Bear, Christopher Robin, and company. In the course of several novels, children met and fell in love with Pooh and his friends. Children were transported to the magical forest and carried along on all of Pooh's grand adventures, which culminate in Milne's final Pooh novel, The House at Pooh Corner. Although Pooh will not embark on any new adventures, he remains a favorite character in children's literature. In the final episode of Pooh, Milne leaves his readers with many fond memories. More importantly, he weaves an important message into the final adventures of Winnie the Pooh."
