		Finding Winnie: The True Story of the World's Most Famous Bear

Before Winnie-the-Pooh, there was a real bear named Winnie.

In 1914, Harry Colebourn, a veterinarian on his way to tend horses in World War I, followed his heart and rescued a baby bear. He named her Winnie, after his hometown of Winnipeg, and he took the bear to war.

Harry Colebourn's real-life great-granddaughter tells the true story of a remarkable friendship and an even more remarkable journey--from the fields of Canada to a convoy across the ocean to an army base in England...

And finally to the London Zoo, where Winnie made another new friend: a real boy named Christopher Robin.

Here is the remarkable true story of the bear who inspired Winnie-the-Pooh.

Purchased this for my nephew, which is six years old. He absolutely loved the book, the illustrations and the whole concept of the origins of Winnie the Pooh. This book follows Winnie from his origins of being found in Ontario all through the various stages of how Winnie came to be Winnie, that we know and love!

He loved the watercolored illustrations and it was really well done throughout the book, ending in photos from the original storylines.

This is a must have book for all younger kids! AAA+++

I've added some pics of the beautiful illustrations and ending photos for you to see what I mean, when I say it's really well done.

Hope it helps:)

This is a beautiful book with a very touching story. I love Caldecott books; they never disappoint. The cute story, connection to real events, memorable artwork, and realia in the back of the book make this book a winner.
I gave this to my 6-year-old niece with a stuffed, black bear cub because I am the worlds greatest Uncle.
Everyone was very impressed with this book, the bear, and my awesomeness.

I've read other versions of the story of Winnie, but this is a superb one to read with my grandchildren. I especially like the illustrations and the actual photos of the main characters and diary entries! Highly recommend!

Cute story, but that's all. According to the description, as well as several of the other reviewers, the book was to include several pages of pictures from the original journal and picture album of Harry Colebourn. I bought this book for my granddaughter and we were so looking forward to seeing the original photographs of Colebourn and Winnie. I don't understand why other buyers obviously received books with these additional pages. Where are mine? Very disappointed!

This is the Caldecott winner, Lindsay Mattick is the Great-Granddaughter of the soldier, that rescued what we all have come to know as Winnie the Pooh.....what a delightful story for all Pooh lovers!! I had heard the interview on NPR radio (which I cherish to listen to while in my car). I am a Pooh fan from way back and had never heard this story....I love that Ms Mattick's, narrative is a story she is telling her own son. My only compliant is I didn't care for the illustrator's style, in fact I had first ordered the other book called" Winnie", by Sally M. Walker....I liked the look of Winnie better on the cover..."Finding Winnie's" bear was a little ghoulish to me...and honestly thought the story was by the same author...however, once I discovered my mistake...ordered this book.The story is more detailed....actual photos are on the pages, where the "Winnie" book just have them on the inside book jacket....this will definitely be a great gift for anyone who knows Winnie...even if it is for yourself!
