Rabbit and Owl, with their more serious natures and understanding of the larger world, always intimidated me to a degree but became the characters I saw most in the adult figures in my life.

What child hasn't, at some point or another, believed in that innocent, wholehearted way that the stuffed animals they loved the most could come to life an be their companions on adventures, that they could provide comfort when faced with the inevitable sad or frightening moments of life.

As Pooh himself so wisely said, "Life is a journey to be experienced, not a problem to be solved."

Enjoy the adventure.
