Following the success of When We Were Very Young, Milne began planning a second book of poetry for children. By the time that Winnie-the-Pooh was published in late 1926, half the poems for this third book were already complete. Published on 13 October 1927, Now We Are Six eclipsed the sales records of the previous two books in only two months. This collection is also notable for including many illustrations of Pooh and his friends, as the author promises in his introduction: "Pooh... thought it was a different book;... he walked through it one day, looking for his friend Piglet, and sat down on some of the pages by mistake" (p. 8).
