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!

har inte läst mycket nalle puh alls men vi hade två dvd:er när vi va små, ”heffaklumpen” och ”jakten på christopher robin”. jag tyckte båda va skitläskiga.
”underskatta inte värdet av att göra ingenting, av att bara ströva omkring alldeles ensam, lyssna på allt som man inte kan höra och bara ha det bra”
även barnböcker har små guldkorn och det är kul att läsa dem som vuxen, för man ser saker man inte gjorde som barn och samtidigt lär man sig att vara barn igen

I enjoyed Pooh and his stories as a child. I remember my parents reading them to me. I think the imagination of Christopher Robin and his stuffed friends and their adventures in The Hundred Acre Wood are relatable to any child who plays with their stuffed animals as if they are real/alive. I however did not particularly enjoy reading these stories aloud to my child. The animals do a lot of interrupting each other while speaking and spell words incorrectly on signs and notes. I found that my 5 year old was often confused by what they were talking about and I’d have to summarize it plainly. Still giving it a three stars because the stories were fun. I just didn’t care for the writing style as a read aloud.
