Seeing a pessimist like Eeyore having his silver-lining moment is heart-warming. This storybook is highly recommended, as it showcases Milne's unique storytelling that has made his work timeless.
Once again a thoroughly entertaining book. It is a small little children's book where the print is much to small for the young reader. Also, the pictures are too small to catch the young reader's attention. However, an adult reading this to a young child would be priceless.
This book is the story of Eeyore's Birthday. Both Winnie the Pooh and Piglet discover what has Eeyore down in the dumps. So they plan to give Eeyore something from their personal collection in order to cheer Eeyore up.
Pooh decides on a jar of honey. Piglet a balloon that he had. Problem being that if you know Pooh, the Jar of honey did not end up as a jar of honey but just a jar. And piglet accidentally pops his balloon that he is looking to give to Eeyore. It doesn't show more matter. Eeyore is happy that he was remembered and that he got gifts from his friends all the same.
I liked this story because of the way it was written. I would certainly recommend it. show less

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
