This story reminds us how Winnie-the-Pooh comes down the stairs, "bump, bump, bump," behind Christopher Robin. It helps us remember the summer walks in the woods, watching the river flow, picnics with friends as well as bath time. Pooh Bear and Christopher Robin were devoted friends.
This is a fine device to explore memories of Pooh as a character from the pages of the books. You can use this story to frame other Meema Stories about the adventures of Pooh and his friends from the 100-acre woods. But it's also a point of departure to talk about childhood, childhood friendships and stories. There is a nostalgia in the Pooh stories, a certain sense of loss brought on by the end of childhood. It can be interesting and comforting to recall what the seasons used to be like for us as children, for example, endless.
We can also use this story to recall other favorite children's books.
