Winnie-the-Pooh
Peter Pan

Fact: English writer A.A. Milne is best known for his children’s stories about the adventures of Winnie-the-Pooh. A.A. Milne named the character Winnie-the-Pooh after a teddy bear owned by his son, Christopher Robin Milne, on whom the character Christopher Robin was based. The rest of Christopher Robin Milne’s toys – Piglet, Eeyore, Kanga, Roo, and Tigger – were incorporated into Milne’s stories. Christopher had named his toy bear after Winnie, a Canadian black bear he often saw at London Zoo, and “Pooh”, a swan they had met while on holiday.
Correct Answer: Winnie-the-Pooh
