A brand-new Winnie-the-Pooh story, featuring the best-loved
characters from the Hundred Acre Wood. Whatever we do, there's
always two, there's Winnie-the-Pooh plus Me. And Pooh said, 'That
is very true.' But sort of wondered if I knew, it was two once, but
then it grew... Someone has come along to join Winnie-the-Pooh and
Christopher Robin on their adventure, but who could it be? It can't
be Kanga and Roo - they're sailing a boat - and it can't be Owl,
because he's at home. Could it be Heffalumps who want to eat Pooh's
beloved honey? Or perhaps Pooh and Christopher Robin are
accompanied by a pair of friends who are never far away on a sunny
day. With a gentle rhyming story by bestselling author Jeanne
Willis, inspired by A. A. Milne's classic poem 'Us Two' from Now We
Are Six, and charming illustrations by Mark Burgess, in the style

friends.
