Since 1987, Pooh and four of his best friends—Eeyore, Piglet, Kanga, and Tigger—have been living at The New York Public Library’s flagship Stephen A. Schwarzman building. Now, through the month of August, you can see our Pooh window display when you visit the Library Shop (also located in the Schwarzman building)! Not only does it have beautiful illustrations and quotes from author A.A. Milne, but it also features all the Pooh gear that the Shop sells: plushes, books, and even a tote bag! Read on to find your favorite item…

1. The softest friends from the Hundred Acre Wood

These might be the softest friends you’ll ever make! Pooh, Tigger, Eeyore, and Piglet make the best storytime buddies and snuggle pals.

Soft and plush (and they rattle!), these adorable stuffed animals will be a special keepsake for years to come. Collect them all!

2. The original tale, with Pooh himself!

Lose yourself in the Hundred Acre Wood with your favorite silly old bear! A.A. Milne’s classic, pre-Disney tales make for the perfect storytime.

Get the paperback book or the entire set, including a Pooh bear! The book is illustrated with the iconic decorations of Ernest H. Shepard, and includes a helpful map of the Wood to guide the reader through every adventure.

3. Go deluxe!

For the ultimate Pooh fan, this hardcover Winnie-the-Pooh: Deluxe Edition is the way to go.

Readers can meet the Heffalump, go on an "expotition," and help Eeyore find his tail, all richly illustrated in color. The sturdy, glossy pages will last for many re-reads to come!

4. The original Pooh and Friends tote bag

After visiting Pooh Bear’s House in the Children’s Room at the Schwarzman building, you can show off your love for the original gang with this NYPL-branded Pooh tote!

One side features Pooh, Eeyore, Piglet, Kanga, and Tigger; the reverse bears the Library’s lion logo. Carry your favorite Pooh books and plushes in style!

5.  The inspiration behind it all!

Did you know Winnie was inspired by a real bear? In 1914, Harry Colebourn, a veterinarian on his way to tend horses in World War I, rescued a baby bear and named her Winnie (after his hometown of Winnipeg, Canada).

Finding Winnie is the Caldecott Medal-winning true story of their friendship, and their remarkable journey to an army base in England, and finally to the London Zoo, where Winnie made another new friend: a boy named Christopher Robin.
