Did you know? While E.H. Shepard is universally recognized for his Winnie-the-Pooh illustrations, he didn't initially use Christopher Robin Milne's actual teddy bear, Growler, as his model. Instead, he used his own son's teddy bear. It wasn't until later that he had the opportunity to see Growler and incorporate some of his features into the illustrations, further solidifying the connection between the real-life inspiration and the beloved fictional bear.
