Synopsis
Celebrate the 100th anniversary of Winnie-the-Pooh with this lovely audiobook about the creation of the World's Most Famous Bear! How a Bear Became a Book features music and special effects. Listen along and enjoy the fun!
In 1926, the very first Winnie-the-Pooh book was published. One hundred years later, generations of kids have grown up in the Hundred Acre Wood.
How a Bear Became a Book tells the story of how writer, illustrator, and editor came together to craft Pooh's first adventure. But deeper than that, this book introduces our youngest readers to how stories begin and where they can go. As Pooh's voice enters the text, he slowly comes to life in the art.
This audiobook about the making of picture books is also a masterful exploration of ideas, storytelling, collaboration, art, and most importantly, honey.
