I find such pleasure, even as an adult, in reading the Pooh books. It is one of the saddest things I know that they caused such pain for Christopher Robin in his mature years. ( )

Winnie the Pooh is classic children's literature. Simple as that. ( )

Winnie the Pooh is a classic in the truest sense of the word. I used to collect Winnie the Pooh memorabilia and this book held a lot of nostalgia for me. I laughed out loud and smiled the entire time I read this book and it did for me exactly what it is meant to do, it put me to sleep. I am not even kidding, every time I would pick up this book to read it I feel asleep with in twenty pages. But it was meant as a sort of bedtime story was it not? Even though I feel asleep so often I loved read this book and am very glad I picked it up. ( )

This was no. 22 on the Radcliffe Students 100 best books of the 20th century and no. 34 on The Library Journal list of the best 150 books of the 20th century. By reading it I have reduced to 13 the books not read on the Radcliffe list and ro 17 the books not read on the Library Journal list. I should have read the book 70 years ago--I wonder what I would have thought of it. It made me smile a couple of times when I read it now, but I am not big on fantasy so I don't know what I would have thought of it if I had read it 70 years ago. ( )

wonderful story created by author to tell his children - a classic ( )
