Amazon Customer: I really do love beautiful children’s books, especially ones based on true stories. What makes this fun is it’s the true story behind a best loved fictional story. I also enjoy the added information and seeing the photos of the real people and bear. This book is entertaining for a wide range of ages! I’d say gift wise a child 8 and under. However, an older child will still enjoy hearing the story and seeing the photos but might not want to own the book.

nmw0826: This is an exceptional story especially for any Winnie-the-Pooh lovers. I loved hearing the history behind how Winnie the Pooh came to be. I never knew his name was based on a real bear! Truly a heartwarming story that my six year old wants to read all the time!

Brendan: I love this book. It is my first gift to anyone for friends/family/office once I know they are pregnant. We bought this randomly at the bookstore for my daughter (now 7) and she still asks me to read this all the time. I don't think I've ever gotten through the full thing without a tear in my eye. It's a wonderful story and it's great that someone with the family history took the care and love to write such a touching kids version of the most famous bear. I highly recommend this and it's one we read over and over again to our children. I've purchased many copies! :-)

Katy Gibson: Winner of the 2016 Caldecott Medal, “Finding Winnie” is an exemplary and distinguished picture book for more than Sophie Blackalls’ stunning watercolor illustrations which so accurately place the reader in the setting, incorporating them as a being within the plot. These artistically excellent illustrations are a magnificent work on their own, however, when paired with the story behind the World’s most-loved Bear, Winnie-the-Pooh, this story is sure to grab all readers (children or adults) attention and hearts remarkably and deservedly fast. Together, author Lindsay Mattick and illustrator Sophie Blackall composed a true tale surrounded by stunning representational watercolor illustrations and filled with peritextual features, beautifully used design elements, and synergy that triggers universal emotions and pulls the heart strings of every reader.
Focusing on the illustrations role in the peritextual features, when viewing the opening of this book the viewer is instantly drawn into the journey by the initial full-bleed double spread that provides a glimpse into the woods that contain the adventures ahead. Both the author and the illustrator provide dedications that are...
