I cannot express in words how wonderfully special it has been to relive these magical little stories each night before bed. I’m so thankful to my amazing partner for gifting me the two books that started it all. Winnie the Pooh will forever be my hero. He may be a Bear of Very Little Brain, but he is without a doubt a Bear of Very Big Heart. ♥️
I adored the movies as a kid but for some reason never read the actual book! This was such a cute sweet and fun read! A bit of a different feel then the Disney movies but still has the same sweet spirit. Good book for kids to read!

Like so many kids, I grew up knowing the Winnie the Pooh stories, mostly because of Disney. I have no memory of actually reading the book's, though. I can't believe it has taken me this long to realize how amazing the original stories are. I love, love, love Winnie-the-Pooh. It's now one of my all time favorite books.

Having grown up with the Disney interpretation of Pooh, like most people, I was delighted and surprised to find so much familiar and comforting about this book. There’s no Tigger, and our 100 acre wood gang commit a felony, but it was still a delight from start to finish. I listened to the Stephen Fry, Judi Dench dramatization. The best part for me was undoubtedly Geoffrey Palmer’s Eeyore, a roll he was born to play apparently! Listening to this cast helped bring out the British humor in the story, something I never noticed in the Disney version. Winnie the Pooh has always been a very comforting character for me, and as (funnily enough) Judi Dench says to Geoffrey Palmer’s character as they're reading Winnie the Pooh together in As Time Goes By, “no one’s too old for that.”
Rabbit straight up suggests, then actually does, kidnap Roo to drive Roo and Kanga out of the neighborhood because all the animals are upset they moved in when they are first introduced. Lol, whut.
Plus, Christopher Robin straight up accidentally shoots Pooh Bear with his gun.
