When We Were Very Young

A.A. Milne's Pooh Classics, Volume 3

By: A. A. Milne

Narrated by: Peter Dennis

Blackstone Audiobooks presents, from the unabridged collection A.A. Milne's Pooh Classics, the 44 poems and verses from When We Were Very Young performed by Peter Dennis. This is the only reading of these delightful verses authorized by A.A. Milne's son, Christopher Robin.

The first of A.A. Milne's four world-famous books for children, When We Were Very Young introduced Christopher Robin to innumerable friends and has probably been read more widely than any other book of verse for children published in our time.

For sheer delightfulness, the children's rhymes of A.A. Milne are in a class by themselves, with their charm, humor, and understanding, to say nothing of their irresistible rhythms.

Critic reviews

"Peter's reading of A.A. Milne's verse and poetry is about you and me and that cognac-colored moment when a scent of memory sends us flying back through time to a place in youth where, for a perfect instant, nothing is wrong." (Los Angeles Times)

Happy Memories

A wonderful recording. Brings back happy memories of reading and rereading this book as a child. .

Charming

This is such a wonderful collection of poems. My children (7 and 3) listen to it on long car rides, and it always brings a smile. The narration is excellent.

Wonderful! worth many listens!

Nice to read, but better to listen. Narrator is just right. Especially good in small Increments, to more easily appreciate. :-)

Great content for a little mind.

Great content for the little mind I am teaching and raising. A place of comfort and joyful memories for the the adult child in me.

Great rendition

I loved this version of the classic A. A. Milne poems. The narration was superb.

Four year old's stamp of approval!

My four year old loved listening to these! She thought they were so silly and fun. It's not always easy to get kids her age engaged with audio books for very long, but this one was a winner! She listened to the whole thing in just two sittings.

Interesting Poetry!

After reading Christopher Milne's first autobiography, "The Enchanted Places", the poem "Vespers" took on new meaning.
I enjoyed listening to the audio version of this book, though!

LOVE IT!!!!!! 😻😁❤️💝💖💕

The poems are so cute! I love A.A. Milne. Winnie the Pooh is one of our childhood classics. I love how Peter Dennis reads the poems. The poems make me feel like I'm in nature as a little child. I am 10 years old but I still play and think like an imaginative little girl. That's what I like to be! and these poems make it very easy for me to feel at home like that.
