Who could deal with a bear?

When Harry Colebourn saw a baby bear for sale on the train station, he knew he could deal with it. Harry was once a veterinarian. But he was once also a soldier in training for World War I.

Harry named the bear Winnie, short for Winnipeg, his company’s home town, and he brought her along to the training camp in England. Winnie followed Harry all over and slept under his cot each night. Before long, she became the regiment’s much-loved mascot.

But who could deal with the bear when Harry needed to go to the battleground in France? Harry found just the best place for Winnie even as he was once away — the London Zoo. There a little bit boy named Christopher Robin came along and played with Winnie — he could deal with this bear too!

Sally Walker’s heartwarming story, paired with Jonathan Voss’s evocative illustrations, brings to life the story of the true bear who inspired Winnie the Pooh.
