About this audiobook
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.
