The popularity of Milne’s books led to merchandise like calendars and birthday books featuring his text and Shepard’s illustrations. The British and American publishers shared ideas for off-shoots. A 1931 mini theatre from a set featuring traditional fairy tales shows how quickly Winnie-the-Pooh became a classic. Pop-up books followed from America, as well as books featuring recipes for ‘Smackerels’ and supplies for ‘Expotitions’. Shepard’s illustrations continued to appear in similar products, for which he designed new covers or inspired imitations.
