This is the third volume in the 'Pooh' series: When We Were Very Young (1924), Winnie-The-Pooh (1926), [the volume found here] Now We Are Six (1927), and finally The House at Pooh Corner (1928). The last three books feature the antics of Christopher Robin and his toy animals—Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, Kanga, Roo, Rabbit, Owl, and Eeyore.
