YouTubeEveryone is celebrating Queen Elizabeth II's 90th birthday—even our childhood friend, Winnie-the-Pooh.
In a newly released picture book freshly pressed author Jane Riordan and illustrator Mark Burgess, the beloved group of iconic characters from the Hundred Acre Wood unite to find the perfect present for the monarch and hand deliver it to Buckingham Palace.
All of the beloved figures of the classic, including the honey-obsessed bear, his human friend Christopher Robbin and their trusted pal, the authoritative Piglet, return for the latest addition to the collection aptly titled Winnie-the-Pooh and the Royal Birthday.
The edition, which will release on Wednesday, marks a special milestone not only for the 90-year-old royal, but also for Pooh Bear himself, who is celebrating his 90th year in publication in 2016.
If you've been trying to get to London, but just can't swing the trip, this picture book operates like a convenient virtual tour of all of the city's most celebrated spots, including the Tube, Trafalgar Square and, of course, Big Ben.
After watching the Changing of the Guard, Pooh finally set eyes on the Queen and maneuvered his way to the front of the crowd to deliver his thoughtful birthday message.
However, Queen Elizabeth wasn't the only member of Buckingham Palace to make their way into the book. In a gratuitous twist of fate, Piglet runs into none other than 2-year-old Prince George. "He was much younger than Christopher Robbin and almost as bouncy as Tigger," the book described.
"It must be a very great thing to be ninety years old," Pooh concluded as he, Christopher Robbin, Piglet and Eeyore walked hand in hand home. A very great thing, indeed.
