This is a weird little book, I think an excerpt from one of the Winnie-the-Pooh stories but it seems disjointed, like it starts and ends at a random place, like we never know how Piglet got surrounded by water and there is talk of a rescue but he is never rescued, which makes the title appropriate at least.
I'm not really sure how to rate this one. It's a part of the Pooh series, so being in the Hundred acre Wood always feels nice and encourages nostalgia..... but, this one just feels really random, fortuitous if you will.... even the name is a bit odd. I'm happy to own it with the others in the series... But, it's not one we've read more than once or twice.
I liked this book for the writing. It is paced well and easy for young readers to read on their own. For example "Christopher Robin opened his umbrella and put it in the water. Then they both got in together." The words are simple for young readers. I also like the story for the illustrations. The illustrations are simple yet appealing. They also fits the written text. For example the quote stated above, the illustration is exactly what is happening in the quote. The message of this story is the power of friendship.
Sometimes it's more of a boat, and sometimes it's more of an accident.

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
