I liked the conversational nature of the opening and closing of the book wherein the narrator, presumably A. A. Milne, speaks to Christopher Robin about the events of the story he is telling about the adventures of the boy’s own stuffed animals. A very enjoyable read about a bear of very little brain and his companions (not yet including Tigger) living near the hundred acre wood.

The funny thing about Winnie-The-Pooh is that it has become so much a part of our cultural vernacular that it’s easy to take it for granted. Rereading this as an adult was highly enjoyable and sweetly poignant in all the right places, without being sickly sweet or too moralistic.
If you dislike the Disney Pooh, give the real thing a go.

Pretty adorable. I was going to say I was disturbed a bit about the focus on Pooh's little brain, and I still am a bit, but the ending redeemed it.

For Winnie the Pooh, no one is ever too old. This gave me a big smile and occasionally even made me laugh out loud. As I listened to it, I found myself suddenly remembering things, and it did evoke a lot of nostalgic feelings. I remember listening to my cassettes while lying in bed as a child. I will undoubtedly share my fave childhood character with my future children! This adorable, silly, little bear has the biggest heart. I love him and all the other characters in the stories so, so much.
First time reading these and it's to my 3 year old. What does this say about my childhood reading? I hated animal stories. That said, these are delightful stories. A few of them are a little sinister with Rabbit, Piglet and Pooh trying to kidnap Roo to get Kanga and Roo to leave the forest. Huh? It all ends well. I also found Eeyore to be a little darker than expected and a bit of a scene-stealer (or at least he tries). If you read aloud, beware the sentences that go on forever!

This was my first time reading Winnie the Pooh, although I loved the show and movies growing up. The characters are a bit different but still loveable, and everything about the book was cozy and sweet. I really loved this and will read the rest.

So darn cute. This is probably the most wholesome book I have ever read.
