Still really liked the book especially the last chapter is beautiful. However, I've come to realise I didn't like Tigger as much as I did as a child
I found the stories in this collection sweet but less memorable than the first collection. I don't know if I overlooked the faults of several characters in the first collection or if they were just more pronounced here, but it became clear that Rabbit is quite a mean-spirited individual, Eeyore is terribly passive-aggressive, and Christopher Robin is quite self-centered. We meet Tigger for the first time in this book, and he's a pathological liar whose desire to impress everyone lands him and Roo far up in a tree, and Eeyore is injured during the rescue.
At the heart of the book, though, are Pooh and Piglet, and aside from Pooh's incessant hunger (he calls on his friends mainly as a pretext for eating their food) they are both selfless, generous souls. I think they're probably the main reason these books have survived as well-loved classics for so many years.
My son enjoyed the book enough to want to listen to it every night, although he had a hard time following the stories and kept interrupting to ask, "Who's talking? Where's Eeyore? Where's Tigger?" every five seconds. (This may be as much about him as about the book, though he hasn't really done this with other books.) We're going to continue with the last audiobook, which contains the final two books of the series. After that, though, I think I'll be glad to move on to something else.

«E se non cadesse?» rispose Puh dopo attenta meditazione.

This was so wholesome and sweet. I was smiling all the way through, and tearing up at the end.
I remember watching the tv animation series when I was young, but this brought back all these wonderful and warm happy feelings. Pooh and his friends has to be some of the most wholesome characters in literature. Also, there's something sweet and adorable and witty in the way A. A. Milne wrote them.
Finally, it's funny I relate so hard to the sarcastic Eyeore.
