A book full of adventures. The perfect kind of book to read while my little brother falls asleep.

A lovely, collection of stories that is perfect as a book to read to children. The audio book version with Bernard Cribbins is exceptional.

After listening to the first book and now going right into this one - there is suddenly this air of sadness. I might be looking too far into this but there are certain lines and little things that are breaking my heart.
I still hate the voice for piglet.

Beautiful, thoughtful, poetic childhood fare.
I may or may not have read it before, it's one of those I can't be sure of, being so familiar with Disney cartoons and having definitely read extracts for study purposes before.
Whatever the case may be, it was lovely to go back to the Hundred Acre Wood to a childhood and live amongst the innocence of Pooh and his friends as they navigate their little problems, and watch Christopher Robin leave them for school.
In ten short chapters, we meet Tigger, Eeyore gets a new house, Piglet moves in with Pooh who also invents Pooh-Sticks, and they all go a-visiting and writing poems/songs. Christopher Robin made me cry a little, as he is clearly growing up and looking with a little more maturity on his 'toys' and playland, and the final chapter leaves a sob in your throat (maybe more so if you're a parent with growing children).
Such wonderful writing, a classic every child should experience in childhood, and not just through the cartoons. My 7-year-old and I will be reading these two shortly.
Loved the Bernard Cribbins audiobook version, he's a great voice artist, and I'm glad he didn't try and copy the Disney voices but gave each a unique voice - Eeyore's was a little dark for me actually!
