The House at Pooh Corner (1928)

This is a sad end to the Pooh adventures. Full of traditional English etiquette and cordial behavior with all its absurdity, I loved it and was sad to see it end. Wonderful book. This is the book from which we get Tigger, and where would the world be without Tigger? It's a classic and it completely deserves that status. ( )

Oh.. the adorable-ness of Winnie the Pooh. Such a wonderful story. :)

Note: I listened to this on audiobook and let me tell you, the narrator's Tigger voice?? TOO FLIPPING FUNNY.... I was laughing so hard. Well worth it just to listen to that part. :D ( )

SiImple, straight-forward stories for all ages. Gets quite melancholy towards the end, but a wonderful book. ( )

I do love doing a class in Children's Lit. It just feels like an excuse to spend a Thursday afternoon and evening indulging in nostalgia, and calling it work.

I think I prefer The House at Pooh Corner to the first book, somehow -- but the end makes me sad. Christopher Robin should never leave Pooh (I will never leave Helen or Edwin or all the rest).

My favourite thing is definitely still the rhymes.

I do have Academic Things to say about these books, I swear, only it feels rather silly to do so on the Internets. ( )

In Which We Meet Tigger, And Things Get Much, Much, MUCH Sillier.

This continuation of the Pooh stories gets more adorable with each story, until the very end when we feel as if we'd bitten down on a thistle because our eyes are wet and our throats are clenched. I'm really not one for the sentimental, but this book gets me every time.

I adore. ( )
