<p>‘That much loved little bear Winnie-the-Pooh is on a trip to London with his chums Eeyore and Piglet in Winnie-the-Pooh Meets the King, a colourful coronation story for slightly older children aged five or six. Clutching his acorn snack, Winnie climbs up to the balcony of Buckingham Palace to get a good view and he meets – well who do you think! The newly crowned King asks Winnie if he may have the acorn snack to plant in the palace garden. Of course he can – and by the way where’s Eeyore?<br />This gentle tale, written by Jane Riordan and Andrew Grey, would, I think have won the approval of AA Milne and EH Shepard.’, Newburytoday</p>
