Blackstone Audio presents, from the unabridged collection "A.A. Milne's Pooh Classics," the thirty-five poems and verses from Now We Are Six performed by Peter Dennis. This is the only reading of these delightful verses authorized by A.A. Milne's son, Christopher Robin.
The verses here, along with those in When We Were Very Young and the stories in Winnie-the-Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner, have endeared themselves to so many readers that it is painful to try to imagine what the world would be like without them.
The perfect book for that all-important birthday, Now We Are Six is much more than a worthy successor to When We Were Young; it is a modern classic in its own right.

Critic reviews
“Peter Dennis has made himself Pooh’s Ambassador Extraordinary and no bear has ever had a more devoted friend. So if you want to meet the real Pooh, the bear I knew, the bear my father wrote about, listen to Peter. You will not be disappointed.”
(Christopher Robin Milne)“Peter Dennis brings to these remarkable readings a quality that goes beyond professionalism into an area we can’t even begin to define.”
(Los Angeles Times)“Congratulations on your outstanding contribution to children and their families.”
(Diana Huss Green, editor-in-chief, Parents’ Choice Foundation)“Besides the delight children will experience when listening to the light-hearted, captivating stories, young listeners will also identify with the universal hopes, fears, and wishes of the characters.”
(School Library Journal)Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
My little boy listened to this on a long haul flight rather than watching a movie. He was engaged the whole time but not over stimulated when it came to sleeping a little later. THe stories are gentle & innocent but funny & very sweet. It's a perfect choice for bedtime as there is nothing in there that will frighten.What other book might you compare Now We Are Six to, and why?
If your children like Paddington Bear, Mary Poppins or the like this is perfect.What about Peter Dennis’s performance did you like?
It is narrated brilliantly & are the voices of the characters that I had in my head as a child.Funny for both adults & children alike!
