This engaging little novel would make a wonderful read-aloud in the classroom or at bedtime." — Canadian Children's Book News Even as a cub, there was something special about that bear. She longed to climb higher than any bear had ever gone. She wasn't afraid to ask a squirrel for help. She wondered if there was anything bigger than the Woods. And then, on August twenty-four, 1914, she met Lieutenant Harry Colebourn. He named her Winnie and made her the mascot of the Second Canadian Infantry Brigade. Together they crossed the ocean to where the Great War raged. It was a time of close calls, thrilling triumphs, painful sacrifice, and great friendship. By war's end, millions knew her name when she became the inspiration for Winnie-the-Pooh. "Oh my, how I love Winnie's Great War . An incandescent celebration of friendship and courage, this perfect little book is one to cherish. A triumph." —Katherine Applegate, author of the Endling series and The One and Only Ivan

A #1 New York Times Bestseller and Winner of the Caldecott Medal about the remarkable true story of the bear who inspired Winnie-the-Pooh. In 1914, Harry Colebourn, a veterinarian on his way to tend horses in World War I, followed his heart and rescued a baby bear. He named her Winnie, after his hometown of Winnipeg, and he took the bear to war. Harry Colebourn's real-life great-granddaughter tells the true story of a remarkable friendship and an even more remarkable journey--from the fields of Canada to a convoy across the ocean to an army base in England... And finally to the London Zoo, where Winnie made another new friend: a real boy named Christopher Robin. Before Winnie-the-Pooh, there was a real bear named Winnie. And she was a girl!
