Happy Winnie the Pooh day.
@Regrann from @abc7la – Wednesday is Winnie the Pooh Day, in honor of the birthday of author A.A. Milne! The affable bear has been the hero of countless children’s tales over the decades. But many may not realize that the real-life bear behind “Winnie the Pooh” was actually a she, according to the book “Finding Winnie: The True Story of the World’s Most Famous Bear.” Milne came across Winnie at the London Zoo with his son Christopher Robin. Christopher was enamored by the cub and named his own teddy bear after her. The two would become the inspiration for the characters in Milne’s iconic series. Disney is the parent company of ABC7.
