More of a 2.5
This one kinda tinted my childhood memories of Pooh. He was fat shamed and called stupid and useless trough the whole book. That made me really sad.
Christopher Robin and the others were not that great either...
I guess children books were different back then.

I don't know how I aquired this book or if this edition is even sold anymore, but I do know that whenever I open it I just get really happy and really nostalgic about it. Winnie-the-Pooh has always been one of my favorite things. The 100 Acre Woods is such a fun world to explore and all of the characters are just so memorable. I know that if I ever keep a book long enough to help my children learn how to read, it'll definitely be this one.

I have always loved Winnie-the-Pooh and I recently bought this anthology for a friend's baby shower. I had to go back and buy myself a copy, too. It's funny because even while reading this silently to myself, I could hear my mind doing the different voices and making up tunes to all of Pooh's Hums and Poems - this book would be amazing to read out loud.

The first book I read with my infant son, Luke. The book has a sweet tone and is full of fun little adventures. Luke could pick up on the tone of the book and enjoyed listening to me read it to him.

Fun writing style with plenty of heartwarming moments and jokes.

Antiquated verbiage that doesn't roll off the tongue and I found myself stumbling over an unfamiliar Cadence while attempting to read this to my 4 year old. All I could say for myself was, "I swear I'm a better reader than this, kid."

Even though I grew up watching the Disney cartoons of Winnie the Pooh, I don’t think I ever actually read any of the original stories. It was nostalgic and delightful to read familiar stories and characters, and yet feel like I was discovering something new since there were differences between what Milne wrote, and the shows Disney produced. Of course, this was no surprise, but it was interesting to see what exactly those differences were. It was also nice to read some episodes that were entirely new to me.

The one this I struggled with a bit was how he uses ‘carelessly.’

Also, the illustrations found throughout the book by Shepard really added to the enjoyment of reading this book.
