Emma asked this question about
The Watsons Go to Birmingham - 1963:
what was the wool pooh? I was really confused about what was happening. Was he real? What was the point of having him?

I believe it was a “whirlpool” that the kids didn’t understand because of the southern accent. Later Kenny humanizes it to represent danger and death.
