Shepard and Milne had torn up the rulebook and made the public look at literature, and particularly children’s literature, in a different way. Rather than reading to children, the books inspired authors and illustrators to write for children, and in the period up to the Second World War, this opportunity for adults and children to sit and enjoy books together grew rapidly. The Story of Babar was first published in 1931, and Orlando the Marmalade Cat in 1938, both following this model of stories that integrated words and pictures in a seamless format. The four volumes known collectively as the Winnie-the-Pooh books divide into two books of verse (the first and third), and two books of stories about Pooh Bear and his friends in the Hundred Acre Wood (the second and fourth). At the time of publication, and for some years afterwards, the books of verse—which only included a few poems mentioning Winnie-the-Pooh—were more popular than the Pooh storybooks.
