It's a Pooh book, so I can't rate it too low, but I didn't enjoy this much. But then, anything where Eeyore has to rain all over the parade I'm not too fond of. There were some fun parts to read, particularly The Anxious Pooh song, but other parts were just overly convoluted. Some of those paragraphs are ridiculously long, and you completely forget what the point was, not to mention the noun to which everything refers! This is a child's book, for Pete's sake!

Anyway, it was a fun little book, but I don't think we'll check it out again.

Christopher Robin Gives a Pooh Party is an allegorical account the sacred Torah and Old Testament and New Testament- Christopher is both Brahmin, Elohim, Jah, Jehovah, Ishvara, and other infinite names for the absolute as well as Jesus- Whist pooh is the son of god in flesh and blood on earth: with his rabble of pious apostles; Pooh mentions a friend whose had an accident in the book whom Christopher does not know because that friend does not know him. Does he seek Christopher and Pooh to make their final ‘break fast’ into the sun; the eye of god ever present and lucent?

A prolific writer, A. A. Milne published 35 plays, 6 novels, 3 books of verse, 3 collections of short stories, and several works of nonfiction, including sketches for Punch magazine, of which he was the assistant editor. Nevertheless, his fame rests on four books for children: two of whimsical stories about the stuffed animals in his son's bedroom show more (Winnie-the-Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner) and two of verse (When We Were Very Young and Now We Are Six). All are considered classics and have been included among the Children's Literature Association's Touchstone books as the best in children's literature, on the Lewis Carroll Shelf list, and on the Choice magazine list of books for the academic library. He also wrote Toad of Toad Hall, a play based on Grahame's The Wind in the Willows, and Once upon a Time: A Fairy Tale for Grown-ups, both of which are sometimes included in volumes with the four classic works. Milne had a son, Christopher Robin, who served as the model for the little boy in his children's books. (Bowker Author Biography) show less

First words
One day when the sun had come back over the Forest, bringing with it the scent of may, and all the streams of the Forest were tinkling happily to find themselves their own pretty shape again, and the little pools lay dreaming... (show all) of the life they had seen and the big things they had done, and in the warmth and quiet of the Forest the cuckoo was trying over his voice carefully and listening to see if he liked it, and wood-pigeons were complaining gently to themselves in their lazy comfortable way that it was the other fellow's fault, but it didn't matter very much; on such a day as this Christopher robin whistled in a special way he had, and Owl came flying out of the Hundred Acre Wood to see what was wanted.
