These stories were magical. I've always loved Pooh and his friends, but I was more familiar with the Disney representation. I'm glad to say that at least in their earlier movies, they were faithful to the tone of these wonderful stories.

There's a solid whimsy quality, and a heavy dose of nonsense. In this edition, the illustrations (or "decorations," as the book cover indicates) were wonderful and did a beautiful job of bringing the story to life.

I will definitely be reading this book again, I'm just sad that I didn't have this in my life when I was much younger.

I recommend to any looking for a wonderful children's read, or any looking to read this with a child. Definitely read an edition that includes the illustrations, they're not to be missed!
