However, the author says in the introduction: We have been nearly three years writing this book. We began it when we were very young... and now we are six. So, of course, bits of it seem rather baby-ish to us... So we want you to know that the name of the book doesn't mean that this is us being six all the time, but the it is about as far as we've got at present, and we half think of stopping there. The poems are illustrated with Ernest H. Shepard's familiar art, including a few into which Winnie-the-Pooh wandered by accident.

- Now We Are Six is a book of thirty-five children's verses by A. A. Milne, with illustrations by E. H. Shepard. It was first published in 1927 including poems such as "King John's Christmas", "Binker" and "Pinkle Purr". Eleven of the poems in the collection are accompanied by illustrations featuring Winnie-the-Pooh. These include: "The Charcoal Burner", "Us Two", "The Engineer", "Furry Bear", "Knight-in-armour", "The Friend", "The Morning Walk", "Waiting at the Window", "Forgotten", "In the Dark" and "The End". It was parodied with the (2003) book Now We Are Sixty.
- There are a total of thirty-five poems in Now We Are Six. Milne's son Christopher Robin is mentioned by name in four of the poems and can be considered to be the narrator of several others. Winnie-the-Pooh is the subject of two of the poems, "Us Two" and "The Friend", but appears in twenty-one of the book's illustrations. In the introduction, Milne explains that Pooh "thought it was a different kind of book ... he walked through it one day looking for his friend Piglet and sat down on some of the pages by mistake."

However, the best known poem in the collection, "King John's Christmas", features neither Pooh nor Christopher Robin. It tells the story of how bad King John discovers that Father Christmas loves him a little when he gets a big red india-rubber ball as a present.
