This book is an example of Fantasy because the characters that talk and move around in the book are animals and we know that in real life bears, rabbits and pigs do not talk. The Author uses personification in this book as his gives each of these animals human characteristics. For example, Tigger (the tiger) says "We're going to have the bestest butterfly collection ever!" We know that he is being attributed the gift of human speech. The illustrations in this book are done with ink, oil show more pastels and computer generation. The story has a great moral. Pooh runs out of honey and he goes into the woods and takes alot for himself. Roo and Tigger collect butterflies in jars, and Rabbit chases birds out of her garden. The main characters realize that the hundred acre woods seemed quiet and unhappy. Pooh decides that they need to be nicer to their little friends. He returns the bee hive and asks for honey. Tigger and Roo release the butterflies and Rabbit agrees to share some of her vegetables with the birds. Everyone is much happier when they are being considerate of others and sharing. show less

This may be the most severely abbreviated adaptation ever of the middle section of the 1968 short film Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day that was in turn adapted from A. A. Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh Chapter 9: In Which Piglet Is Entirely Surrounded by Water.

Pooh wakes to a flood. Piglet is in danger. Pooh saves him. The end.

The art looks to be recycled from at least two -- or maybe even three -- previous adaptations. This story is so frequently adapted -- and usually without creator credits show more -- it would be hard to track down the actual illustrators. Several booksellers and book sites seem to credit the text to Caroline Kenneth, but her name does not appear on the copy of the book I have borrowed.

(Pooh Project: Phase 2! I've managed to catalog all the shorter Pooh books my family owns (see the list here). While I work through few remaining longer Pooh books we own, I'm missing my daily dose of Pooh, so I'm going to start seeking out some of the Pooh books I don't own – yet – from libraries IRL and online.

Christopher Robin asks Pooh and his friends about the birds and the bees. They respond with examples of release, quid quo pro, and consent.

(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:

A lively little guessing game gives you clues before each page turn as to who you are about to see. The closing "toodle-oo" especially tickled my funny bone today.
