The Complete Tales Of Winnie The Pooh by Ernest H. Shepard, A.A. Milne
5.0
"Pooh, promise me you'll remember me even when I'm a hundred?"
When my boyfriend and I finished reading this book, there wasn't a dry eye in the house. The stories are just like I remember them, even though the characters seem a little different. The characters seemed darker to me, as odd as that sounds. Eeyore sounds like he needs to be put in some kind of program because he's borderline suicidal, everyone is meaner to Pooh than I remember, because he's a bear of "very little brain", and Piglet's scared of his own shadow. These aren't faults with the writing, it's just an example of how Disney literally makes everything more kid friendly, even children's literature.
Though the characters are darker, I still love these stories, I still love this book, and I still would love for more stories to be added or to come out. While we were reading this I fell in love with Pooh all over again and I even found a Pooh bedding set I used to have on Ebay, and I almost paid the $40 for it.
If you're someone that has never read the Pooh stories, or even if you're someone that has read them over and over again, they are definitely worth revisiting.
