Well, isn't this the most ominous Winnie the Pooh title ever? You crack the cover expecting to find yourself at Christopher Robin's funeral.
But instead, on the way to a dinner engagement with Owl, Pooh realizes with Piglet and Eeyore that it is already dark out and that they may be late for the meal or that something might be wrong with the sun. Owl whips out books and diagrams to explain the solstices and seasons, but Pooh happily zones out the explanation, content that science has the show more situation under control. And really, don't we all do the same most days? (Vaxxers and Flat Earthers excluded, obviously.)
(My Pooh Project: I love Winnie the Pooh, and so does my wife. Having a daughter gave us a chance to indoctrinate her into the cult by buying and reading her every Pooh book we came across. How many is that? I’m going to count them this year by reading and reviewing one every day and seeing which month I finally run out. Track my progress here:

Ooh, this is an exciting Pooh book!
Well, I should clarify that the story is a complete nothing tale about Pooh waking up with a craving for cake and passing every single hour of the day impatiently -- but giving kids the chance to move the attached clock hands -- until he can have cake. My two-star rating reflects this.
No, what's exciting for me is that this is another example of Disney book recycling -- one of my favorite sub-topics in the Pooh Project!
When I went to log this book on show more LibraryThing and Goodreads I saw that it was attributed to writer Hallie Marshall even though her name appears nowhere on the book I have in hand despite its having full credits for the four illustrators. When I searched for the book title online I did find that there were some versions of the cover where Marshall's name appears and some like mine, where it does not.
At first it appeared that there were two different editions of the same book: a hardcover edition where Marshall's name appears and a board book edition where it doesn't. But I searched the hardcover ISBNs and found some interior pages and was surprised to find that the hardcover had twice as many pages as the board book with many extra illustrations, illustrations in a different order, and words that were completely different. The hardcover has a story about Rabbit's birthday, whereas the board book is just about Pooh wanting cake.
Hardcover first words:
It was nearly eight o'clock. Pooh rolled out of bed. "Time for my stoutness exercises!"
Board book first words:
Late one night, Winnie the Pooh lay cozily in his bed. He was dreaming of cakes and snacks and smackerels of honey. He was a hungry bear -- even when he was sleeping.
Hardcover last words:
By nine o'clock, Pooh was in bed and dreaming. He dreamed of birthday cakes. He dreamed of snacks and smackerels and honeypots and pots of honey!
Sweet dreams, Pooh!
(The hardcover ends with the illustration of Pooh dreaming that opens the board book with the first words above.)
Board book last words:
"I believe this is the best cake I have ever eaten," declared Pooh.
Everyone at the table agreed, and no one noticed how much time had passed because they were all too busy having fun.
I couldn't resist tracking down a cheap copy of the hardcover on eBay, and I'll review that separately when I receive it next week.

The book is a tribute to the original Pooh short films compiled in The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, with some iconic moments providing the inspiration for the puzzles: the introduction of Tigger, Owl's house falling down, Pooh dreaming about Heffalumps and Woozles.
I had a lot of fun trying to find all the differences in the opposing images on each big two-page spread. I have to admit I missed quite a few -- though, by way of defense, I was doing a fast and slapdash job of it. The best show more parts for me were seeing Pooh with a belly button and Tigger with a soul patch.

Rabbit's throwing himself a surprise birthday party and has recruited Pooh to do all the work with one of the best to-do lists ever:
1. Make Invitations
2. Bake Cake
3. Decorate
4. Yell Surprise
5. Go Home
(The fifth step has always been the most crucial for any party I've thrown or attended.)
Pooh stumbles through the list in his amusing manner, and everyone is happy in the end.
Side note: Disney later recycled the title, clock concept, cover, and half the illustrations into a board book version show more where some anonymous writer reworked and simplified the story so Pooh is simply craving sweets and sets off in search of cake. Rabbit's birthday is entirely excised as well as the individual scenes with Owl, Tigger and Christopher Robin. This original version is so much better.
