Winnie-the-Pooh, for starters, is a seemingly harmless children’s novel. The first Winnie-the-Pooh book was published in 1926 by A. A. Milne and has been a cherished childhood staple ever since. The titular Pooh Bear being a honey-obsessed, clumsy, stuffed bear who goes on little adventures with other anthropomorphic characters like Piglet, Eeyore, and Tigger.

The charm of Winnie-the-Pooh exploded when Disney acquired ownership in 1961. Now, many years later, Pooh can be found in countless movies, spin off books, and TV shows in multiple languages. There are even streets named after Pooh Bear in Warsaw and Budapest. In Hollywood, he has his own star.

It’s hard to see how this innocent childhood classic could land itself on the banned book list. However, Winnie-the-Pooh has been challenged since it’s original publication date for featuring animals that are just as articulate as the human character, Christopher Robin.

In America, conservative Christians claimed that the walking-talking stuffed bear was an insult to God. They weren’t too jazzed that he never wears pants, either.

In Britain, there was worry that children’s stories featuring talking pigs — we’re looking at you, Piglet — might be offensive toward Muslim and Jewish children. The Muslim Council of Britain came out against the ban and called it “well-intentioned but misguided.”

Now British children can enjoy Winnie-the-Pooh, Charlotte’s Web, and The Three Little Pigs as children should.

Even as recently as this summer, Winnie-the-Pooh was stirring up trouble and was banned in China because bloggers started using images of Winnie-the-Pooh to mock President Xi Jinping. Due to China’s censorship policies, children are being denied a literary classic.
