I thought they might be too old for my 2 and a half year old, but was so frustrated by the Disney condensed versions of the stories that I started to read her the originals, and she loves them. Especially the story where Pooh gets stuck in the rabbit hole. Charming and funny stories for children 2 to 102. This hardback, slip-cased edition should last a lifetime. It was released this month to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the publication of the very first stories about Winnie the Pooh. The volume contains "Winnie the Pooh" (1926), "The House at Pooh Corner" (1928) and the poetry from "When We Were Very Young" (1924) and "Now We Are Six" (1927). With original illustrations by E.H. Shepard.

Scientists from Leicester University believe the finding may help to identify women at risk of giving birth prematurely. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/3983099.stm Child of Our Time The new BBC series returns in January. In the meantime, the Open University invite you and your children to help with the research for the next series by taking part in a simple, fun survey. There are a series of questions about what makes a good parent, how children spend their leisure time and what they feel about their identities. http://www.open2.net/childofourtime/tv_pages/survey.htm ___________________________________________________________ Copyright studholme.net, 2004 You are welcome to copy or forward any part of this newsletter, but please include this copyright notice and web address - http://www.studholme.net/child/ Previous editions of this newsletter are archived at http://www.studholme.net/child/news.html
