One of the greatest children’s stories of all time was written way back in 1925. Today, I’d like to introduce you the world's most famous bear, Winnie-the Pooh.

This was the very first story ever written about Winnie-the-Pooh and Christopher Robin. Now, 95 years later, it is in the public domain. Next year, we will begin bringing you more of the classic tales of Pooh and his friends. In the meantime, you might want to check out some earlier Readatorus episodes from A.A. Milne’s “When We Were Very Young.”

We really like stories written by Edith Nesbit. They are lots of fun and usually the kids save the day as they do in this story, set many years ago in Great Britain, when a little girl has a big surprise land in her eye while her brother has his turn up in a tea cup.

Here’s a story about a little boy who sees one thing from far away and something quite different on closer inspection.

What we see with our eyes can change depending on where we are when we see it, just like what we think is true can be different depending on our personal beliefs and perspective.

Long ago, people did not much of what that you learn in school today. Even the sun and the moon were mysterious objects that were impossible to understand, so ancient people created stories to help explain the natural objects as is the case with this ancient Chinese folk tale.

Mother Goose wrote lots of great rhymes like:

Little Boy Blue, come blow your horn.
The sheep 's in the meadow, the cow 's in the corn;
Where 's the little boy that minds the sheep?
He 's under the haystack, fast asleep!

But we didn’t know much more than that about little boy blue until L. Frank Baum shared the rest of the story in his version of Little Boy Blue.
