Preschoolers and artists interpret Pooh

Yesterday while watching Jeopardy! I had a question answered that has been bothering me for many years. How the heck do you pronounce Winnie the Pooh creator A.A. Milne's last name? I've only seen it in print and never heard it spoken, so I wasn't sure if it was pronounced "Miln" or "Mil-nay" or "Mil-nee" or whatever. Turns out it's simply pronounced "Miln." Okay, maybe no one else cares about that, but it certainly made me feel better, and that's really all that matters. Oh yeah, and speaking of Winnie the Pooh, there's currently an exhibit going on at the Gallery 1988 in Los Angeles which features drawings of scenes from the Winnie the Pooh Storybook done by preschoolers from the Hollywood Schoolhouse. These drawings were then given to "real" artists who rendered the children's drawings in their own style. The result is actually really cool. If you live in the area, you should check it out, but the rest of us will have to just enjoy the pictures online. Since Disney's interpretation of the citizens of the Hundred Acre Wood are all over television and have been burned into our minds, it's actually nice to see how other artists put their own unique twist on Milne's creation.
