It all started during first world war when War troops from Winnipeg (Manitoba, Canada) were being transported to eastern Canada, on their way overseas to Europe where they should join the 2nd Canadian Infantry Brigade. When their train stopped lieutenant called Harry Colebourn bought a small female black bear cub for $20 from a hunter who had killed its mother. And the bear was named after his home town Winnipeg which bcame Winne for short.

Winnie became the mascot of the Brigade and went to Britain with the unit. When the Brigade was posted to the battlefields of France, Lt. Colebourn took Winnie to the London Zoo. The bear was also very popular by Christopher Robin, son of author A.A. Milne. It was his favorite at the zoo, and he often spent time inside the cage with it. The bear was Christopher Robin's inspiration for calling his own teddy bear Winnie.... Winnie the Pooh (this teddy bear started out with the name of Edward Bear).

Next few years Christopher added other stuffed toys to his Winnie the pooh Collection, which includes a donkey ,a kangaroo or two, a pig and a striped tiger , this fascinated A. A Milne to invent a wonderful series of stories and books which later led to the videos, educational films and TV series which were popular among children today

Piglet's History

Piglet was one of the original toys of Christopher Milne. "Piglet was a present from a neighbor who lived over the way, a present for the small boy she so often used to meet out walking with his nanny," Piglet appears in almost every Pooh story (and of all the animals, he's the one to whom Pooh turns so often when out adventuring or waiting for Hums to come to him), and of all the Animals he is the one who changes the most through the two books. Piglet shows MORE Pluck, reveals MORE Brains (or Fluff, if you must), and appears MORE Piglet.

Kanga, Roo and Tiger

Kanga, Roo, and Tigger were all late arrivals to the Forest, newcomers is probably a better expression-and for some reason they Jumped and bounced about and ended living in the one same place and seemed to live on a diet of Medicines and Sandwiches. Like Pooh they were actual toys belonging to Christopher Milne. Kanga and Tigger were later arrivals, presents his parents, carefully chosen not just for the delight they might give to their new owner, but also for their literary possibilities."
