Both children and adults have been enjoying the adventures of Winnie the Pooh, along with his good friends Eyeore, Rabbit, Owl, Kanga, Roo, Piglet, and Christopher Robin, for more than 70 years now. A couple of different generations have gotten to know the wonderment of the Hundred Acre Wood and the adventures that it can bring. If you love Pooh and Company and would like something different for your personal checks, then you might want to consider purchasing Winnie the Pooh checks.

Winnie the Pooh was created by AA Milne and first gained popularity in 1926 in the book Winnie-the Pooh. (The House at Pooh Corner followed it in 1928.) Actually, Pooh was first introduced in a poem in 1924. When it was translated into Latin, it became the first foreign language book to ever be on the New York Times Bestseller List. That was in 1960.

Winnie the Pooh was actually based on a real bear and Christopher Robin was a real boy. Christopher Robin was AA Milne's real life son and Winnie the Pooh was his real life teddy bear. Christopher Robin was responsible for naming the other characters as well, save for Owl and Rabbit who were added by Disney.

The Hundred Acre Wood is nearly a real place as well. It is based on Ashdown Forest in East Sussex, England, which was where Milnes was from. The name of the make believe "Hundred Acre Wood" is suggestive of the Five Hundred Acre Wood, which includes some of the locations mentioned in the book, like the Enchanted Place

There are more than a few Winnie the Pooh check series that are obtainable. One popular series contains 4 checks with a different image on each one. The first one shows Pooh by himself, the second one contains an image of Pooh and Eyeore, the third one features Pooh and Tigger, and the last one shows Pooh and Piglet. A coordinating checkbook cover can be bought with the checks that has "Pooh" written across the front in large, bright letters set against a yellow daisy filled background.

You can also purchase checks from a series that shows capricious images of Winnie the Pooh with his good friends from the Hundred Acre Woods. Pooh, Piglet, Tigger and Eeyore are all represented on these checks too, though the colors are more restrained.

Finally, you can also buy Classic Winnie the Pooh checks. These include the original illustrations of Pooh and his friends. These checks also illustrate Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore and Tigger but Christopher Robin is incorporated also. If you want something with a more traditional feel, these might be your best bet.

You can normally buy matching checkbook covers, address labels, and contact cards to coordinate with your checks.

If you would like to save money on your checks then you should consider ordering them online. Not only are they convenient, but you can also save as much as 50% off the cost that you ordinarily would have spent at your local bank. In addition, by ordering from a reputable site, you have access to hundreds of different designs so you don't have to worry about them not having the images that you were looking for.
