Winnie-the-Pooh Day-January 18

 Winnie-the-Pooh Day-January 18

January 18, 2010 is Winnie-the-Pooh day. But what is there to celebrate about Winnie-the-Pooh and why on January 18th?
Winnie-the-Pooh is one of the most beloved children’s book characters of all time. Not only children, but adults as well, enjoy the adventurous stories of the pudgy little bear in Alan Alexander Milne’s Winnie-the-Pooh stories. Winnie-the-Pooh was published in 1926, followed by The House at Pooh Corner in 1928.
Although the Winnie-the-Pooh character is the major attraction in these classic children’s stories, he would be nothing without his "supporting actors": Tigger, Rabbit, Eeyore, Piglet, Owl, Kanga and Roo. And we certainly can’t forget the boy child, Christopher Robin. If it weren’t for Christopher Robin, the Winnie-the-Pooh stories would never have come into existence.
