I grew up with Winnie the Pooh and Christopher Robin and to this day I cannot read the last chapter without crying: " with his eyes on the world Christopher Robin put out a hand and felt for Pooh's paw. "Pooh," said Christopher Robin earnesstly, "if I --- if I'm not quite ---" he stopped and tried

again --- "Pooh, whatever happens, you will understand, won't you?" And wherever they go, and whatever happens to them on the way, in that enchanted place on top of the forest, a little bear will always be waiting. I absolutely LOVE Milne's writing and am so grateful that he created such a wonderful little world in the woods. I can read his writings, including the poetry, over and over again. Show Less

Winnie the pooh was a good book but I was told not to read the book because it was not age qualifying but I would have read it if I could I only got to page 46 and over all it was a good book. Like when Winnie lost his kite and him and Chris had to go find it and they did they always pull thought.

I do recommend the book to all readers, and it is a good book to read for the wise writing. It is one of those books that you should read in your life because what kid and or adult has not heard of Winnie the Pooh like come on. Read this book!!! Show Less

What's not to like about Pooh?

I loved Winnie the Pooh so much as a child. I even had my own Pooh bear, many moons ago. So I had to own this wonder book amongst others I enjoyed as a small person. What can I say about a little boy and his bear who have given such joy to millions?
Thank you Christopher Robin and dear Pooh, for
I don't ever want to forget what it's like to be a kid. Reading children's books helps ensure that we will never forget what it was like to be small and carefree, and they bring back so many memories of 'When We Were Very Young'.

This book has been a favourite of mine all my life. I brought my 3 children up on the stories. I find it very inspirational in showing people the extent of their imaginations.

One of my reading challenges this month was to read a book with a teddy bear on the cover or in the story. I knew instantly that, even though it's a children's book, I was going to reread Winnie the Pooh. What a wonderful, classic story about one of the most beloved characters in children's

literature. It's one of the most magical books that entire generations can enjoy together. If your only introduction to Pooh is through the Disney version, please read this book to get a better view of the sweet world of this “Silly Old Bear”. He thinks he's a “bear of very little brain” but he always get the “hunny” in the end. He's a loyal and steadfast friend who is fond of food and poetry. His very best friend is Christopher Robin and he lives in the Hundred Acre Woods with his friends, Piglet, Eeyore, Rabbit, Owl, Tigger, Kanga and Roo. The stories retain the beauty, simplicity and charm they have had for almost 100 years. The illustrations by E.H. Shepard are amazing. It was so much fun the revisit this book after so many years.

This wonderful edition of the complete stories and poems of Winnie-the-Pooh is a treasure. There is nothing new that I can say about the actual words written by A.A. Milne. Pooh has been reviewed and discussed so many times by persons more scholarly than me. I just want to describe the beauty of

this particular edition. The book is printed on beautiful paper in easy to read type and has the original illustrations in color. The actual cover is black with gold embossed lettering and an image of Christopher Robin and Pooh, also embossed in gold. This volume containing the much loved Winnie-the- Pooh books is a keepsake to be displayed and admired as much as it is enjoyed being read. Show Less

The Pooh and Christopher Robin books are, in my mind, pure genius. They are timeless and ageless. E.H. Shepherd's illustrations are astonishing such simplicity, yet able to capture the signature emotion of the moment. I detest the Disney version! I had records (LPs - oh, how that ages me!) of

Even though I grew up watching the Disney cartoons of Winnie the Pooh, I don’t think I ever actually read any of the original stories. It was nostalgic and delightful to read familiar stories and characters, and yet feel like I was discovering something new since there were differences between
