Winnie-the-Pooh

An absolute classic, and deservedly so. Lovely story with perfect illustrations. ( )

A delightful collection of stories for any age. They encapsulate the mind of a child and the adventures they create. It tells of the stories that fathers recount for their sons, and manages to put in some charming wit for anyone that isn't Christopher Robin's age. It's a classic. ( )

To be honest, reading this story broke my heart. See, the Disney variant of Pooh is something etched in my mind ever since I was a child. My parents had never read these stories to me, so I was excited to finally have an excuse to see the source material for these characters. Do not get me wrong; the characters all act as they do in the Disney version (sans Tigger who is not included).

My problem comes from the fact that none of the stories felt to build to anything, and made me ask ‘Who Cares?’ when reading them. I kept feeling that any of these adventures could have been the last, and the only reason it stops when it does is because the author got bored. Maybe once I get past the shock of the differences, I can try to get through this collection again since the stories are not poorly written or anything like that. For now, though, I have no interest in checking it or the sequels out from my library. ( )

A delightful children’s book I never read as a child or to a child. Never too late and not a minute too soon. ( )
