so cute and I can't wait to read it to my niecephews.
“Pooh,” said Rabbit kindly, “you haven’t any brain.”
“I know,” said Pooh humbly.
“I know,” said Pooh humbly.
What do you mean Winnie-the-Pooh’s original name is Edward Bear.. I was today years old
I'm 26 years old now, and I had a real big smile the whole time while revisiting this lovable dumbass from childhood, Pooh Bear-- even if, admittedly, I was kinda just biding time until my real favorite, Eeyore, showed up with his depressing ass. And boy-oh-boy does he deliver!
Never change, buddy.
I loved the snarky humor, and gentle sass the narrator and characters banter around. Everyone, including Winnie himself, calls Pooh-Bear an idiot. Everyone knows Eeyore is miserable, Piglet is a jittery coward, Owl is full of himself, and Rabbit is bossy and irrational. They are all flawed morons who depend on a kid for intellectual and moral guidance. Hell, Rabbit straight up proposes kidnapping a child and freaking does it. But they are all true friends, and I appreciate stories that don't have much in the ways of morals -- except like each other and try your best, even if it's not very good.
The first few stories are the best, but all are pretty fun and don't overstay their welcome. And some of the humor will likely fly over a kid's head, which I think is perfectly fine. I never understood the "Lived under the name of Sanders" or "TRESPASSERS WILL" jokes when I was little, and it gave me a little fuzzy feeling to finally get it about two decades later.
(Sorry to Tigger fans, but he doesn't appear in this one. You'll have to go to Volume 2 for him)
"After all, one can’t complain. I have my friends. Somebody spoke to me only yesterday."
Never change, buddy.

I can't say anything about this piece of imaginative writing that hasn't been said. It's fun to read, and read, and read again. I have an old hardcover version, which kept it as the fine literature it is in my mind as I read, no Disney voices in my head. Lovely.
Margo LOOOVED this one, and I think we'll read it again in a few months since she doesn't mind the repetition! The pictures, characters, silly plot lines were all great here. The writing is very British/old so reading it aloud was challenging at times, but I got more belly laughs out of this one than any other book we have read together. It's adorable and it's a classic that holds up.

What a sweet read! I absolutely loved reading this book, and I found the movie was pretty similar to it. I would highly recommend this for a children's book!
