Now We Are Six

Now We Are Six
By A. A. Milne
My older granddaughter turns six in February and I have been waiting to send her 'Now We Are Six' for it’s a perfect gift for a six-year-old! Part of the Winnie-the-Pooh series, it is a book of poems about Winnie and his friend, Christopher Robin. Illustrations by Ernest H. Shepherd are based on toys owned by the real Christopher Robin Milne – they’re personal favourites and they are in a class of their own. The poems are wonderful and the last one ends:
“…now I am six, I’m as clever as clever
So I think I’ll be six now forever and ever.”
What six-year-old wouldn’t delight in the sound of that?
(I wonder does 66 re-qualify one for any of that cleverness???)
