I had the wonderful opportunity to meet a group of Home Visitors today – and talk children’s literature with them.  I love talking books with other people who share that passion.  It had me thinking of some of the classics – and a scene in particular from the movie “Beautiful Girls” where Timothy Hutton tells the very young Natalie Portman that he can’t be her Christopher Robin.  He explains “That’s how the story ends – Christopher Robin grows up and he doesn’t need Pooh anymore.”  It’s such a sad, beautiful end to a fantastic story.  It started me thinking about all of the books I need to share with my daughter – including this treasure. 

Wouldn’t it be nice if Christopher Robin always needed Pooh?
