"'In fact, Christopher Robin,' he went on in a loud whisper, 'quite-between-ourselves-and-don't-tell-anybody, it's Cold.'" These charming drawings illustrate poor Eeyore's plight when the well-intentioned Piglet and Pooh unknowingly dismantle his house and use the sticks to build him another at Pooh Corner causing some confusion. The illustrations can be found on pp. 11, 12, and 13 of the book. (3)
