Although one of the most famous episodes in A.A. Milne’s books and theWalt Disney films
was Eeyore’s birthday, he oddly does not join all the other famous Pooh characters round the
table in this picture. Pooh prefers to eat honey at this celebration in his honor while the rest
of the gang enjoys birthday cake.
