"Now We Are Six" by A. A. Milne is a collection of children's poetry published in 1927, with illustrations by E. H. Shepard. This second poetry collection follows Milne's earlier work and contains thirty-five poems, including eleven featuring Winnie-the-Pooh. The poems explore themes of childlike innocence and the unique perspective of a six-year-old child. The title comes from the final poem, where a child declares their intention to stay six forever, capturing that special age between early childhood and growing up.

Now we are six, by A. A. Milne. Republished by OpenStories from Project Gutenberg eBook #70516.
