Or, as in this case, the point of view of a little bear by the name of Edward, who would go on to be known by another name in a great many future stories. This is the first official appearance of Winnie The Pooh.
This and many other poems, were bundled into the best selling book called "When We Were Very Young," and published in 1924. You can expect to hear more of these poems in the future.
