The Pursuit of Grouchiness

National Grouch Day
-- According to Sesame Street Magazine: This day was created for all grouches to celebrate their way of life. A Grouch's mission in life is to be as miserable and grouchy as possible and pass that feeling on to everyone else. Only then will a Grouch feel in touch with his or her world and be happy. Yet, even though a Grouch may show happiness at anyone's misfortune (including his or her own), a Grouch would never admit to being happy. Such is the stability of a Grouch's life: so balanced, and yet so unbalanced.

Read: The Pursuit of Grouchiness
-- In The Pursuit of Grouchiness, Oscar the Grouch teaches you how to lose friends and grouchily influence people. There's no greater expert on celebrating a crummy day than Oscar the Grouch. After complaining about cheerfulness for decades from his trash can on Sesame Street, Oscar now shares his secrets for making sure you’re as curmudgeonly as possible, all day, every day. It's the perfect gift for your grouchy friends, your annoyingly upbeat friends who could stand to be a little grouchier, and even just yourself―because a bad day can always get worse. Now get lost! And have a rotten day

Winnie-the-Pooh first printed (1926
- The date of the first printing of the book Winnie-the-Pooh was October 14, 1926. A. A. Milne named the character Winnie-the-Pooh after a teddy bear owned by his son, Christopher Robin Milne, who was the basis for the character Christopher Robin.

Read: The Complete Tales and Poems of Winnie-the-Pooh
-- In 1926, the world was introduced to a portly little bear named Winnie-the-Pooh. Along with his young friend, Christopher Robin, Pooh delighted readers from the very beginning. His often befuddled perceptions and adorable insights won the hearts of everyone around him, including his close group of friends. From the energetic Tigger to the dismal Eeyore, A. A. Milne created a charming bunch, both entertaining and inspirational. These simple creatures often reflected a small piece of all of us: humble, silly, wise, cautious, creative, and full of life.

Disney Baby Winnie the Pooh
-- Oh brother, this Pooh is the floppiest and softest around. He features a jingle in his grumbly tummy and a crinkle in his ears. He is just the right pal to dream of overflowing honey pots with. This plush toy is a comforting pal and perfect for getting well wishes, birthdays, and more! It is a huggable travel friend for kids on road trips and airplanes, or a cute bedroom decoration.

Disney Winnie The Pooh Figure Play Set
-- From deep in the Hundred Acre Wood comes this 7-piece figurine playset featuring Christopher Robin's friends Pooh, Tigger, Piglet, Eeyore, Rabbit, Owl, and Kanga with Roo to create all-new adventures only you can imagine!

Winnie-the-Pooh: Classic Gift Edition
-- The perfect gift for both new readers and passionate collectors! A gorgeous new collectible edition of the beloved classic, Winnie-the-Pooh, crafted as a replica of the first American edition from 1926. This elegant book features a textured case, gold foil stamping, and illustrated endpapers.
