4.5

I have a huge amount of nostalgia for this book. I probably read it 100 times as a kid. Coming at it again as an adult, it's still precious.

(Although we do have to acknowledge the Chinese bear's portrayal was NOT OK. The 50's were wild, y'all.) 

I took off half a point for that, but I adore the characters and art and would give it a perfect rating otherwise.
