| Summary | "Now We Are Six" by A. A. Milne is a collection of children's poetry written in the early 20th century. It is a charming follow-up to his previous work, "When We Were Very Young," and it continues to explore the imaginative world of childhood through whimsical verse. The book likely delves into themes of friendship, adventure, and the innocence of youth, much like Milne's other beloved works featuring characters such as Winnie-the-Pooh. This collection features a variety of poems that celebrate the joys and challenges of being six years old, from playful musings about friendship with characters like Christopher Robin and Pooh to reflections on whimsical adventures. Each poem encapsulates a child's perspective on life, touching on topics such as imagination, nature, and the delightful absurdities of childhood. The illustrations by Ernest H. Shepard complement the text beautifully, enhancing the overall experience as readers are invited to share in the delightful explorations and tender moments that define early childhood.
