Book 1 in the series is Finding Winnie: The Story of the Real Bear Who Inspired Winnie-the-Pooh. This book taught me so much history, and it was such a joy to read. Read reviews of all the Finding Winnie books and how to read Finding Winnie in order. Even Christopher Robin is a real person! I just. I had no clue that this was a true tale of war. I had no clue that his name was short for Winnipeg, Canada (A place where one of my dearest friends lives). I had NO CLUE that the beloved character Winnie the Pooh was based on a real bear. Possibly because I just can't do justice to this amazing picture book, which deservedly won its award. I started reviewing FINDING WINNIE: The True Story of the World's Most Famous Bear in January after it won the 2016 Caldecott Award. ![]()
