In this 8th installment of the Swindle Mystery series, we are once again joined by Griffin Bing and his friends. I especially enjoyed looking at the album in the back of the book which shows photos and diary entries from Harry Colebourn who rescued Winnie as a baby bear. Perhaps, like me, you didn’t know that Winnie-the-Pooh was actually based on a real bear. For her safety, Winnie is taken to the London Zoo where she is well cared for and meets a new beloved friend, Christopher Robin. In this true story the reader follows Winnie’s journey, a journey of friendship and devotion that leads her from Canada across the ocean to an army base in England during World War 1. "Finding Winnie- The True Story of the World’s Most Famous Bear"īy Lindsay Mattlick (nonfiction picture book)įinding Winnie is a remarkable story about the real bear who inspired the creation of the beloved Winnie-the-Pooh character. " Better yet, this is just the first book in a series of delightful stories about a friendship that is truly special. If you enjoy fun and adventure with a little bit of silliness, you will enjoy reading " Buddy and Earl. Buddy’s world becomes a bit more exciting when this small, prickly creature comes into his life.

Buddy likes to play by the rules and Earl has an imagination that knows no bounds. You might think that Buddy and Earl are an unlikely pair when it comes to friendship. It is a reminder that even in bad times, people can be good.
