Happy 90th Birthday Winnie-the-Pooh!

This month Winnie-the-Pooh is turning 90 years old! The New York Public Library, which has been housing the original Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends on display in their library since 1987, is hosting a card shower for him. Winnie is hoping to get lots of birthday cards and pictures sent to him at the NYPL. You can either drop them off at their library, or if you're like me and can't get away to NYC (!), you can mail them to this address: Winnie-the-Pooh, c/o Children's Center at 42nd Street, The New York Public Library, 476 Fifith Avenue, Room 84, New York, NY 10018.

Or you can email Winnie a birthday wish via the NYPL website here: http://www.nypl.org/blog/2011/06/29/winnie-the-pooh-birthday

Winnie-the-Pooh, originally called Edward Bear, was a present to Christopher Milne from his parents on his first birthday on August 21, 1921. Then A. A. Milne wrote a series of stories about Christopher Robin and his bear, Winnie-the-Pooh, and the rest is history. Let's all draw a birthday picture or send him a birthday card for his big 9-0!
