Winnie-the-Pooh

Front matter

Reading edition

On the cover of Winnie-the-Pooh there are two drawings. Below the title and the author's name, there's a picture of a boy and four rabbits trying to pull a small bear out of a hole on a grassy slope. The boy has taken hold of the bear's paws. He leans back and tugs. The rabbits line up behind him, pulling at the boy's waist. Above the title, in the upper right corner of the cover, is the second picture. It shows the same bear hanging from a string that's attached to a balloon, which is floating off into the sky. The bear is surrounded by a swarm of insects.

In a drawing that appears before the start of the story, Pooh stares down at a bath mat, scratching his head with one paw. He seems puzzled. The words "Bath Mat" are woven into the mat itself, but it lies on the floor, wrong side up, so the words appear backwards, as if you were reading them in a mirror.
