Winnie-the-Pooh

A fun children's book. Good as a bedtime story. ( )

One of the classic children's books.

Winnie the Pooh, Christopher Robin, Rabbit, Eeyore and Piglet have some wonderful stories to tell! From Pooh and his honey to Eeyore and his lost tail, these adventures are timeless.

Nothing like visiting your childhood friends all over again. That is what this audiobook did for me! These are such magical stories. Truly takes you on a trip to the hundred acre wood with all the characters and all the wonderful fun adventures.

Joel Froomkin did a fantastic job. I loved all the voices, except for piglet. I just thought piglet didn’t fit. But, he was spot on for all the other characters.

I received this novel from the publisher for a honest review. ( )

Ten-stories-in-a-story for children, in which Pooh Bear and his associates go on adventures. They also interact from time-to-time with the audience surrogate, Christopher Robin.

Well, for being written nearly 100 years ago(!), this book only barely feels that old. All characters are male except for the mother, of course, and young Christopher Robin shoots a gun toward his friends, but that's rather surprisingly the bulk of the datedness. Winnie-the-Pooh achieves a perfect mix of adult-with-child humor (my favorite was a joke about the letters written on pencils)... but I also found a lot of characters did or said things that would make me hesitant to actually be their friend (a bit too much "laughing at" rather than "laughing with"). So a bit of a mixed bag for me, really. Even so, I'm glad to have read this touchstone work! ( )
