KIDS: British author David Benedictus and illustrator Mark Burgess have imagined the continued tales of Winnie-the-Pooh and Christopher Robin in a brand new Pooh estate–sanctioned book Return to the Hundred Acre Wood. To celebrate, a number of Toronto book publishers and book lovers—including Small Print, Penguin Books, Type Books, and Torontoist—are having a Winnie-The-Pooh Homecoming Party. A. A. Milne–channelling author David Benedictus will read an excerpt of his new book via satellite from the UK, while local kiddie-entertainment celebrities read additional stories at the party. Don Kerr & The Heffalumps perform their Hundred Acre Wood inspirations. And what would a Winnie-the-Pooh party be without a little pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey? Kids can take part in making a giant "Welcome Home" card, too. Gladstone Hotel Ballroom (1214 Queen Street West); Sunday 11:30 a.m. and 3 p.m. (two shows); $10 adults, $8 kids.
