My Very First Winnie the Pooh

A compilation of five 'My Very First Winnie the Pooh' stories in one book, this classic collection teaches preschoolers basic concepts like the seasons and to quell anxieties about scary 'firsts'--like a visit to the doctor or the first day of school. Contains: Introduction Pooh's First Day of School Happy New Year, Pooh! Pooh Plays Doctor Pooh's Bad Dream Don't Talk to Strangers, Pooh! Pooh's Neighborhood Preschooler's concerns are very concrete as they deal with the challenges of learning to cope with everyday life. New experiences, such as going to the doctor, may provoke anxiety. New concepts, like neighborhood and stranger, may seem intangible at first. Who better to introduce such ideas to young children than Winnie the Pooh? Pooh embodies the innocence of the preschool child, while at the same time providing comfort and reassuring silliness.
