Today is about how Winnie the Pooh get hi
The curious name of Winnie-the-Pooh came from a visit A.A. Milne took to the Zoo. It’s a combination of the names of a real bear and a pet swan. During the 1920s there was a black bear named "Winnie" in the London Zoo who had been the mascot for the Winnipeg regiment of the Canadian army. “Pooh" was the name of a pet swan of A.A. Milne son Christopher had in their garden pond at their home.
Winnie the Pooh was original called Edward after the Brown Bear his son Christopher owned

My challenge today is to create a layout using either a Bear, Teddy Bear or a Swan and some Black or Brown
