I wasn't too impressed when my four-year-old granddaughter picked this older book to read. Howver, it turned out to be a great story about Bert and Ernie exploring an attic. My four-year-old granddaughter told me that an attic is a place "with no monsters" and "is full of all that pink stuff". When we read about paper clips and marbles that Bert and Ernie found, i was able to show her our collection of paper clips and our collection of marbles. She chose a blue paper clip and a show more blue-and-white marble to take home...plus this book, of course! :D There were lots of teachable moments in this book. show less

This is an adaptation by Liza Alexander and illustrator Carol C. Haantz of the Walt Disney animated Winnie the Pooh special, A Valentine for You (1999), directed by Keith Ingham and written by Carter Crocker.

The film is a bit odd, because even though it is a Valentine's Day show, it has more of a Halloween tone with the Pooh friends getting lost in a dark and scary forest at one point in their quest to keep Christopher Robin from falling in love. And then it also has some Christian overtones show more as a guiding light of love saves them by leading them from the darkness. Also, Owl sings an awful, sexist song: https://youtu.be/JM5Tl945quc.

The adaptation is fairly faithful to the film's story, but the art is not quite on model, with some of the faces of the Pooh characters looking downright ugly at times. Owl's song is mercifully omitted. show less

Estava com insônia e vi um meme do Your Childhood Ruined sobre nosso casal favorito de Vila Sésamo nesse livrinho que prontamente fui ler.
É bonitinho a forma que trata o medo depois de se ver filme de terror, o engraçado desse tipo de medo é que ele se esvai quando nos tornarmos adultos, o único filme de terror que ainda me causa medo é O massacre da serra elétrica, pois é muito palpável sentirmos que aquela sensação era de fato possível se estivéssemos na frente de um serial show more killer. show less

This book is great for children just learning how to read. I like it because not only is my name Zoe, but I also remember watching Sesame Street as a young child. Beginning readers will be able to read this book over and over again to build on their skills. I liked that this book has easily recognizable characters from a popular children's show. The characters are easy to relate to and this story is another relatable story about a child in a community. This book is also very interactive and show more asks the reader questions that they can answer. I liked that this book is an easy read and the main message is to be yourself and friendly. show less
