Today’s quote is by Winnie the Pooh (A.A. Milne). I picked today’s quote because I like the thought of sharing a book with a friend who is a little down (or stuck in Pooh’s case). I think the quote is a really funny! Also, the reason a “Wedged Bear in Great Tightness” got there is funny! It was nice of Christopher Robin to read Pooh books when he was stuck.
“Then would you read a Sustaining Book, such as would help and comfort a Wedged Bear in Great Tightness”

Great quote! 😀
Thanks Mr. Davis!
I love Winnie-the-Pooh, and that quote is great! (I also love the story behind it, and the illustration of Rabbit using the back end of W-the-P to hang his washing on, while Christopher Robin read to the front end.)
Thanks, Erik!
Thanks! I love “Pooh Bear” too! (HA HA! At least Rabbit made good use of Pooh!) 🙂
LOL! Great quote and explanation. I see you’re using an Ernest Shepard illustration. Smart choice. He’s by far the best.
Thank you Mr. Davis! I didn’t know that there was different artists! I just used the one that looked like the one in my book.
I love Pooh. But Tigger is the absolute best! Super quote!!! *waving*
Thanks! I like Tigger, too, but my favorite is Eyore (not so sure if that’s how it’s spelled)! *waving back* 😉
I love Winnie-the-Pooh and Ernest Shepard’s illustrations, although I confess I didn’t actually read the books until I was grown-up. Another of my favorite quotes from Pooh is, “Piglet is so small that he slips into a pocket, where it is very comfortable to feel him when you are not quite sure whether twice seven is twelve or twenty-two.” 🙂
HA HA!!! Nice quote! When I was 7 or/and 8, my dad would read us “Winnie the Pooh” as a bedtime story.
Erik 🙂
I love this quote and I love when literature is embraced on all sides. Remember, I am a teacher. Also, on Twitter the other day they had a trending topic called #booksyoucaneat and people put stuff like: “The Audacity of Steak” “The Color Hamburger” “Of Rice and Men” “The Old Fish in the Sea,” and others. I loved it. EMBRACE READING is my mantra!
Super mantra, MiMi! Thanks for the follow, by the way. 🙂
Thank you! I didn’t know you were a teacher! I think the whole “booksyoucaneat” twitter is cool!
Ha! Ha! Ha! (There’s just something wonderful about these old classics.)
I second Robyn. “The wonderful thing about tiggers, is tiggers are wonderful things…”
True, I hope the “wondeful old classics” stay around forever… (I hope 😉 )
I like “Tigger” a lot. (But I still think Eeyore is the best!!!)
Erik 🙂
That’s a terrific quote, Erik. I grew up on A.A. Milne and the original illustrations (definitely not the Disney versions). There’s a reason some books stay in print forever.
Thank you Ms. Fritz! I agree, the good ones stay in print forever!!! 🙂
