A brand new Winnie-the-Pooh story, featuring the best-loved characters from the Hundred Acre Wood, and celebrating the centenary of the very first appearance of Winnie-the-Pooh. Winnie-the-Pooh and Piglet have been invited to Rabbit's party - the only problem is, they need name badges, and neither of them is much good at spelling. Will Rabbit let them in, if their names are not spelled correctly? Based on an original poem by A A Milne, this funny and charming picture book, with a rhyming story by award-winning writer Jeanne Willis, will delight all fans of Winnie-the-Pooh. With full colour illustrations throughout, in the style of E H Shepard's original decorations, this is a lovely gift for a young child, and a perfect bedtime read.
