Lindsay Mattick is the great-granddaughter of Captain Harry Colebourn. Captain Colebourn saw a baby bear with a gentleman at a train station and buys the cub for $20.00. He names the bear "Winniepeg", "Winnie" for short after his hometown.
Ms. Mattick shares the story of Winnie with her readers via telling the story to her son. The reader needs to check for understanding throughout the story as the scene flips back and forth between the early 1900's to modern time.
*Highly recommend.
A unique photo album is included in the back with actual photographs and artifacts.
I love Ms. Blackall's illustration style.
Great for building schema about Winnie the Pooh's beginnings.
