## Who they are

Roo moves through the Hundred Acre Wood as its youngest resident, tagging along on expeditions and adding his high, eager voice to Pooh's tiddely-poms. Sheltered by Kanga and endlessly fascinated by the bigger animals, he represents the uncomplicated wonder that the older characters keep stumbling over. His presence turns ordinary Forest happenings into adventures simply by being watched with fresh eyes.
