I grew up on the cartoons but I've never actually read the books. Positively enchanting - with the exception of the narrators voice for piglet which I absolutely hated. It was beyond obnoxious. I have no idea why it bothered me so much. But here we are.

I'm biased because Winnie the Pooh was my childhood. I love all the characters. It doesn't often make sense (child with a gun?), but it feels like it shouldn't. The author perfectly conveys childlike wonder and freedom in imagination. Reading it as an adult feels a bit out of place.
5/5 for what it is, 4/5 for my experience as an adult.

Absolutely hilarious. Side note : Eeyore has got to stop bringing the world’s worst vibes to the function.
gosska's review against another edition
nie wiem jaką ocenę dać
z jednej strony głupiutkie
z drugiej strony rozczulające i otulające w kocyk
na pewno dla kłapouchego będzie dodatkowa gwiazdka bo go kocham i uważam zasługuje na coś lepszego w życiu niż pusta baryłka po miodzie i pęknięty balonik

The classic you didn't know you've never read! Beautifully innocent and still lots of fun for adults.
I recently read the sequel and realised I'd never, in fact, read this book as a child - I'd seen the Disney films so often I really believed I HAD read the book. But it's never too late to correct this sort of terrible error, and I was also able to share it with my son, now 7. I had wondered if he'd think it too young for him, but actually he enjoyed it as much as I did.
With bookends from 'the real' Christopher Robin and his dad, as Dad tells the ensuing Hundred Acre Wood tales to his young son and Bear, the story is thus a set of tales told to a child, with occasional interjections from the listener/reader. I'm not certain my own son understood this, even when I tried to explain. But as such a small part of the whole, I don't think it mattered too much.
With Pooh Bear and all his friend (no Tigger until the second book though), the familiar adventures occur - a hungry bear seeking honey, getting stuck in Rabbit's burrows, the flood, the expedition to the North Pole... but also a chapter that Disney Didn't Do - the 'fearing the unknown' as new resident Kanga worries the animals and they decide to kidnap Roo to try and make her leave. A little dark for Disney, but all ends well for anyone worried.
My son laughed at my Eeyore voice. I laughed at some of the scenes and some lines created for the reading adults. It feels old-fashioned at the same time as still quite fresh. And I also felt nostalgic reading this - for Christopher Robin's childhood and imagination, for my own juvenile whimsies.
It's wonderful sharing these classics with my son, they aren't a difficult read, and this one took just over a week. To expose him to different styles and language is only going to harden him as a capable reader unafraid to try books that look old, difficult or dull (not that this does - Shepherd's pictures kept his interest).
