How a bear became a book : the collaboration that created Winnie-the-Pooh / words by Annette Bay Pimentel, pictures by Faith Pray.

Pimentel, Annette Bay, (author.). Pray, Faith, (illustrator.). Henry Holt and Company, (publisher.).

Summary:

"Celebrate the 100th anniversary of Winnie-the-Pooh with this gorgeous picture book about the creation of the World's Most Famous Bear! In 1926, the very first Winnie-the-Pooh book was published. One hundred years later, generations of kids have grown up in the Hundred Acre Wood. How a Bear Became a Book tells the story of how writer, illustrator, and editor came together to craft Pooh's first adventure. But deeper than that, this book introduces our youngest readers to how stories begin and where they can go. As Pooh's voice enters the text, he slowly comes to life in the art. Textually delightful and visually stunning, this is a picture book about the making of picture books, but it is also a masterful exploration of ideas, storytelling, collaboration, art, and most importantly, honey." -- Provided by publisher.
