When We Were Very Young

Written by A. A. Milne

Narrated by AnnaLisa Bodtker

A classic since first published almost 100 years ago, these nostalgic and whimsical poems bring back the innocence of childhood.

The poems perfectly enter the thinking of a child. Who mends the soldier's socks? Why does a dormouse keep his eyes shut? Are Brownies tickly? A. A. Milne's observation of children's behavior shows in such poems as "Disobedience" (Where has James Morrison's mother gone?), "Jonathan Jo" (who has everything you may need and only wants a smile as payment!), and "At The Zoo" (where you can find biffalo-buffalo-bisons and bidgers, badgers, and bodgers!)

Each sweet and silly poem is written with the rhythm and rhyme that young children love.

Knowing how important language development is to success in school, educator AnnaLisa Bodtker created alenbeebooks. Audiobooks enhance listening skills, increase vocabulary, and allow children to enjoy books above their reading levels. Alenbeebooks selects well written stories and poems, that are narrated in an engaging manner, to promote good language skills.
