A.A. Milne loved to watch his son Christopher Robin play with all his stuffed animals at their home in Sussex, England. Each toy animal had a name; Tigger, Kaga, Eeyore, and Piglet. The toy bear became Winnie after the Canadian Black Bear Christopher Robin saw at the London Zoo. As Milne watched his son play, he had an idea: Why not bring these characters to life? Why not let the world join in the fun?
