What a delight. August 24, 2008 C. Sadler
This book is just a wonderful collection of such charming stories. My eldest son is nearly 6 years and a fairly prolific reader but we have struggled to find books with enough words to challenge him but age appropriate storylines. Having not read Winnie the Pooh as a child myself I was a little sceptical but the stories are wonderful. The humour is gentle, the stories a delight, the text beautifully written. My eldest reads the book to himself, I read it to his younger brother. In short, we love it.
Fab for little ones... not for me May 18, 2008 Mehajabeen Farid (Coventry) 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
Meet the adorable, ponderous Pooh Bear; the cute, funny, little Piglet; the bouncy, lovable Tigger and everyone else who reside in the Hundred Acre Wood in this fabulous book with fabulous short stories about these fabulous characters' adventures. As a little child I never really liked Winnie the Pooh but now, I am 10, I think it is great. I am not too fond of the Disney one but the one by AA Milne is great! I love EH Shepard's illustrations which really make the book lovely. I think this book was worth every penny - a real delight to read, especially at bedtime! I love the story about when Piglet's home was floating because of the terrible rainstorm and it is ingenious how his friends get him back to land.
wonderful cast, delightful book March 8, 2002 12 out of 18 found this review helpful
Judi Dench, Michael Williams, Stephen Fry et al obviously really enjoyed producing this dramatisation of Winnie the Pooh. It has been listened to over and over by our 2 year old, who fits all sorts of Pooh-isms into her developing conversation! - it's a lovely set of tapes, ideal for the car and a story you get more out of as you get older - without it being beyond the reach of little ones. If you like Winnie-the-Pooh, this cast does it well.
very insightful! April 25, 2001 Brent (UK) 6 out of 8 found this review helpful
This book, never read as a young person (nor to me), has proven to be an invaluable source of insight into a lot of areas. In a world governed by numerous self-help books and alike, this book no doubt serves as solid and long-standing. l would have loved to have had this read to me as a child, l recommend every adult to read it, and then read it to their children.
