NOW WE ARE SIX

"Now We Are Six" is a classic collection of children's poetry by A.A. Milne, first published in 1927. It is the second volume of verse featuring Christopher Robin, following the hugely popular When We Were Very Young. The poems capture the imaginative world of childhood—from playing make-believe and talking to imaginary friends, to pondering life's big questions and celebrating the simple joy of being six years old. The book also introduces beloved characters from the Hundred Acre Wood, including Winnie-the-Pooh, who appears alongside Christopher Robin in several poems. Charmingly illustrated by E.H. Shepard, the collection is warm, witty, and nostalgic—perfect for reading aloud to children or for anyone who treasures the innocence of early childhood.
