Hello children, I'm Jude and I'm an author and storyteller. Lamby and Flossie are my storytelling mascots with Little Lamb Tales. Today we are very excited as it's Winnie the Pooh Day! We have some lovely activities planned. If you have your own Pooh Bear or one of his friends, why don't you bring them along for the day.
