‘Kings and crowns and whatnot? It sounds like something out of a dream or a fairy tale,’ said Eeyore.

When Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends go on an expedition to a Royal London Park they don’t expect to find themselves in the middle of a royal adventure.

This charming story takes place at a very special Royal Coronation. When Winnie-the-Pooh and Piglet lose Eeyore in the crowd, they come up with a plan to find their friend. Along the way they meet a Very Important Person and learn about the importance of kindness, helping others and new beginnings.

This classic character children’s book will make a wonderful keepsake to honour the historic coronation of King Charles III

Also available: Winnie-the-Pooh Meets the Queen said to be, ‘One of the best children’s books for 2022’, by The Telegraph.

‘Winnie-the-Pooh has always been a very special (albeit funny old) bear, not least of all because his books are filled with wonderful words of wisdom.', Stylist magazine

Reviews for ‘Winnie-the-Pooh Meets the King’:

‘That much loved little bear Winnie-the-Pooh is on a trip to London with his chums Eeyore and Piglet in Winnie-the-Pooh Meets the King, a colourful coronation story for slightly older children aged five or six. Clutching his acorn snack, Winnie climbs up to the balcony of Buckingham Palace to get a good view and he meets – well who do you think! The newly crowned King asks Winnie if he may have the acorn snack to plant in the palace garden. Of course he can – and by the way where’s Eeyore?

This gentle tale, written by Jane Riordan and Andrew Grey, would, I think have won the approval of AA Milne and EH Shepard.’, Newburytoday

‘If you’re looking for a royally memorable keepsake of the coronation, turn the pages of this classic illustrated gift book as Winnie-the-Pooh makes a special appearance and charms everyone… including the king!’, Lancashire Post

‘Winnie-the-Pooh has always been a very special (albeit funny old) bear, not least of all because his books are filled with wonderful words of wisdom, and an irrepressible sense of youthful fun that never ages or fades. So join Winnie and make your day extra special!’, Lancashire Post

‘Author Jane Riordan and illustrator Andrew Grey turn on the smiles as they put the nation’s favourite bear at centre stage in this gorgeous picture book which is filled with A.A. Milne’s unique enchantment and classic characters.’, Lancashire Post
