I grew up with Winnie the Pooh and Christopher Robin and to this day I cannot read the last chapter without crying: " with his eyes on the world Christopher Robin put out a hand and felt for Pooh's paw. "Pooh," said Christopher Robin earnesstly, "if I --- if I'm not quite ---" he stopped and tried again --- "Pooh, whatever happens, you will understand, won't you?" And wherever they go, and whatever happens to them on the way, in that enchanted place on top of the forest, a little bear will always be waiting. I absolutely LOVE Milne's writing and am so grateful that he created such a wonderful little world in the woods. I can read his writings, including the poetry, over and over again. (  ) hnebeker | Dec 16, 2009 |  Entertaining, cute poems, many of which capture a child's imagination. Some of these could be seen as one's earliest memories from childhood -- they're appropriately fantastic (nonsensical) and written from a toddler's perspective. The poems are written very well, so it is a fun read even as an adult. Also, Shepard's illustrations are great. But, if you haven't read this (or this hasn't been read to you) as a child, there isn't that much value to this. I should consider reading the Finnish translation to my children.

I'm still looking for the brownie behind my great big curtain! ( ) bigorangecat | Aug 11, 2008 | Summary: AA Milne poetry for young children with great drawings throughout. He seems to be able to show the innocence of childhood as well as the adventures children are eager to go on. Great poetry combined with adorable pictures. Review: I have recent additions of this book and one that was my mother's dated 1950. The poems are so simple and so loving that you want to read them over and over again. You can almost see a father's love for his child gushing out of every word on the page. This is what childhood should be like for every child in the world.
