위니를 찾아서: 세상에서 가장 유명한 곰의 실화

The watercolor illustrations are gorgeous, and I didn't expect the story to get me teary at the part where the train leaves the bear behind. My four-year-old sits still through the whole thing, which says a lot.

My kids ask for this one almost every night, which says a lot since our shelf is overflowing. The way the story ties the real bear to the Hundred Acre Wood had me a little misty by the last page.

I had no idea the real Winnie was a rescued bear cub from Canada, and my kids were just as hooked as I was. The watercolor illustrations are soft and lovely, and we've read it at bedtime four nights in a row now.
