Pooh and the Dragon is a gentle and imaginative children’s story featuring Winnie-the-Pooh, inspired by the classic world created by A. A. Milne. When Pooh hears rumours of a fearsome dragon lurking nearby, his curiosity (and love of adventure) gets the better of him. Joined by his friends from the Hundred Acre Wood, Pooh sets out to investigate—only to discover that things are not always as frightening as they first appear.
Written by Ann Braybrooks and illustrated by Darrell Baker, the story blends warmth, reassurance, and light humour, making it especially suitable for younger readers. The illustrations are bright and expressive, staying true to the traditional Disney style that generations of readers associate with Pooh.
Published as a Little Golden Book, this 1997 First Edition forms part of the long-running Golden Books tradition, appealing to collectors of Disney titles, Winnie-the-Pooh memorabilia, and classic children’s picture books.
1990s Disney Golden Books in collectible condition are becoming increasingly difficult to source, as many copies were heavily read and not preserved.
