The further adventures of everybody's favorite stuffed bear and his real boy cohort, Christopher Robin.
Now lets be honest.
Winnie the Pooh seems like a series written for children, am I right?
But I read this over the summer, because this exact edition was gifted to me, and I have to say this is the best book I have ever read.
You do not realize how much of an Eeyore... to be continued

Listening to these stories of Winnie the Pooh and his friends is really taking me back to my childhood in a way that I did not expect and is actually causing me a bit of an issue as I’m meant to be working whilst listening, not stating out of the window and smiling to myself.
This collection of stories introduces Tigger to the Hundred Acre Wood and to the readers and follows the gang trying to either get used to him or get him to change, as well as Pooh sticks and other adventures.
I’m feeling so nostalgic listening to these and they are a whole performance by Peter Dennis that I didn’t know that I needed. But I’m loving it!

It’s better than the original. It’s sad to listen to all of eeyors who I think needs better friends.

Read it with my daughter, who isn't yet four, so maybe we'll revisit this one again in a few years.
I read this with my son. Not that he got too much out of it - he's 1. But I've wanted to read the Pooh books for a long time so I figured I might as well read them aloud. I found the beautiful reissue box set at a bargain store - absolutely gorgeous, full-color hardcovers of Winnie-the-Pooh, The House at Pooh Corner, When We Were Young, Now We Are Six, and Return to the Hundred Acre Wood. They are LOVELY. I've enjoyed the stories although it took me the whole first book to get used to the attitude and personalities of the animals! They can be snarky, self-absorbed... although some of it, I think, is more of a child's mentality - a child doesn't think about how it comes off when they say things. I'm sure someone has analyzed this somewhere and I'd be interested to read about it, if they have.
The one thing I miss when reading these stories is the music and voices from the Disney version. Disney really did a nice job with stories such as the Blustery Day and I think they picked great voices for everyone. I miss "I'm Just a Little Black Rain Cloud!"
Anyway, sort of like Beatrix Potter, I think these stories would fly better for a higher age level than people normally associate them with - I think that's a product of the time period in which they are written. I'm sure Aiden and I will read them again down the road.

The next moment the day became very bothering indeed, because Pooh was so busy not looking where he was going that he stepped on a piece of the Forest which had been left out by mistake
“What did you do?”
“Nothing.”
“The best thing,” said Owl wisely.
“I don’t think you’re helping,” he said.
“No,” said Pooh. “I do try,” he added humbly.
... when you are a Bear of Very Little Brain, and you Think of Things, you find sometimes that a Thing which seemed very Thingish inside you is quite different when it gets out into the open and has other people looking at it.
So they went off together. But wherever they go, and whatever happens to them on the way, in that enchanted place on the top of the Forest, a little boy and his Bear will always be playing.
My little one LOVED Winnie-the-Pooh, both books! They were just delightful!
