This book is like coming back to an old friend. I know this isn’t written by AA Milne but it has the warmth and humour of the beloved stories from my childhood with beautiful animation to go along with it and the kind of stories I could imagine being told today. I absolutely adored this book. This is a book for the adult generation who need a bit of Pooh wisdom to get through the day.

A great idea, badly executed. Including a fundamental misunderstanding of Eeyore as a character.

A cute fun read. Pooh and his pals tackle the problems of modern life. Parts of the book had me laughing out loud. Illustrations accompany each short chapter. This book will make a wonderful gift. Enjoy

This hilarious and heartfelt parody follows the lovable cast of Winnie-the-Pooh as they do their best to navigate the trials and tribulations of the modern day. Eeyore sees a therapist, Piglet tidies up with the Marie Kondo method, Kanga gets a night off from taking care of Roo, Owl grapples with misinformation online, Pooh sorts his recycling and worries about the bees becoming an endangered species, the gang attempts yoga, and the Hundred Acre Wood deals with climate changes's extreme weather.
Egerdie preserved and stayed true to the charm of Milne's original characters beautifully. The warmth, humor, and soul of each of them had a chance to shine. Ellie Hajdu's illustrations are adorable. This book was comforting like eating your mom's homecooking again. I only wished it was longer!
Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an eARC.
