It's that old Pooh book formula where Pooh has a problem -- getting no mail, in this case -- and wanders around the Hundred Acre Wood meeting his friends one by one until they all end up at a party. Still, simply for the delightful instruction sheet, "Growing an Oak Tree in Your Own Backyard," the book gets three stars.
And it may not be canon, but we find out Owl's uncle who "went to sea in a pea-green boat" is named Clyde Owl and he is now married to Tabitha Pussycat. Also, Kanga has a sister named Mrs. Kangaroo, and Eeyore has a brother named Seymour.
(My Pooh Project: I love Winnie the Pooh, and so does my wife. Having a daughter gave us a chance to indoctrinate her into the cult by buying and reading her every Pooh book we came show more across. How many is that? I’m going to count them this year by reading and reviewing one every day and seeing which month I finally run out. Track my progress here:
