One of the very first poems I ever learnt when I was very small was this one, from A.A Milne's compendium, 'When We Were Very Young'. My big brother is called John and it reminds me of him! With the constant downpours we're getting in the UK, I thought it might be appropriate for this week. The illustrations, by E. H Shepard, are fabulous.

That is so wonderful Jules, I had never heart that poem before and the illustrations are precious. Stay dry! Deb

ReplyDeleteI remember being all dressed up in a Great Big Mackintosh when I was small, but I don't think I realised I was taking fashion notes from Winnie-The-Pooh!

Jules, I used to read this poem to my sons and we all loved it. That was a long time ago: they are now 48 and 46! Thank you for reminding me of it. Andy
