Rendition Concering Books The World of Winnie-the-Pooh (Winnie-the-Pooh #1-2)
As part of a children's book readathon on my blog in August 2018, voters chose Winnie-the-Pooh by A.A. Milne as one of our award-winning books to read this week. I was very excited to pick up this classic again as I haven't read it in over thirty years. I've seen several shows and cartoons with nieces, nephews, and cousins, but reading the wonderfully illustrated picture books was a fresh experience. I adore the world Milne has created with all the amazing characters in the woods. It's a bit of fantasy and magic combined with reality and lessons. I'd forgotten how 'mischievous' Pooh and his friends could be.When we picked this classic, I never specified which of the books to read -- silly of me, actually, as Pooh might think or say! I left it up to each reader. I borrowed the book from the library, and it seems to be books 1 and 2, so I read more than I'd planned. At about 150 pages, it has some illustrations but way more text than I remembered. It was still adorable to read. There were ~10 stories introducing different characters and scenarios ranging from an encounter with bumble bees (where Pooh classically steals the honey -- or tries to!) to poor Eeyore losing his tail.
If you've never sampled Winnie the Pooh, get to the library now and read one of the stories. At the very least, tempt yourself by watching a cartoon version. At least now I know where Christopher Robin comes from... who the bear family is and what a pooh actually means! I definitely want to check out the movie that came out earlier this year (last year?) on Christopher Robin!

This review is for the Celebrity Death Match Tournament - Winnie-the-Pooh versus Hamlet. One day when the weather was especially fine, Pooh and his friends were playing Pooh sticks. Pooh was thinking how nice it would be to have a playing-Pooh-sticks-with-your-friends-on-an-especially-nice-day sort of hum when... "Hey nonny nonny...""Was that me?" Pooh asked Christopher Robin. "You see, I was just thinking...""Silly old bear," said Christopher Robin fondly. "That wasn't you. It was her."I feel like I'm one of the few people who didn't actually grow up with Winnie the Pooh. I didn't watch the cartoon series or the movies. I didn't read the books other than the ones printed by Disney. Oddly enough I did write some Winnie the Pooh stories when I was a kid, but those have long since been forgotten.Because of this, I don't think I can appreciate these stories like others. While I did find them charming, some of the stories were somewhat simple and dull, characteristics that
I read Winnie-the-Pooh for the first time when I was 21 years old and thought it was one of the most funny, sweet and endearing books I have read thus far. I believe Winnie-the-Pooh to be a book that can be enjoyed by both adults and children for completely different reasons. As a 21 year old, I noticed the sometimes sarcastic but, in my opinion, hilarious tone of A.A. Milne's writing, something a child might not notice. I think it is written very cleverly and that Milne has created a beautiful
What can I say? The complete tales of A Bear with Very Little Brain and a Very Big Heart in one volume with the original E.H. Shepard illustrations? Absolutely lovely. We can learn so much from Pooh about the purity of love and friendship, and we can learn so much about A.A. Milne from the stories and from his adorable dedications of each book to his wife. A great set of stories to contemplate from childhood to maturity, and the poems are wonderful to read out loud. Even if there are no children
Yet another celebrity death match.(A small windowless room in Elsinore. HAMLET and ROSENCRANZ walk in. Sitting a the table is POOH, a stuffed bear.)POOH: Can I make a call?HAMLET: (Standing over POOH:) Who would you like to call?POOH: My ride. I been here an hour.HAMLET: Hm. Well, soon as we're through here, we'll get you a ride. Okay?ROSENCRANZ: (Sitting across from POOH:) Pooh? You own a red Camaro, don't you?POOH: Yeah.HAMLET: Do you know Hamlet?POOH: Yeah, I'm looking at him right now.HAMLET
At the time of this writing, I am twenty-eight years old. People tell me I come off as intelligent, opinionated, cynical and sarcastic, with a dark and very adult sense of humor. I don't much like children and don't plan to have any of my own. My childhood, while not particularly awful, is nothing I look back on with nostalgia - mostly I'm pretty glad to have gotten to the point where I'm allowed my own life. Generally, my literary tastes run far closer to Patrick Suskind or Neil Gaiman than
The January challenge for the British Book Club on Facebook was a Childrens or Young Adult book. I first reread The Wind in the Willows, (which I first read as an adult) then Adam of the Road which was a childhood favorite, and probably the first historical novel I ever read (or perhaps the first was The Witch of Blackbird Pond. While I was replacing them in the grandkids reading nook, my eye fell on The Complete Tales of Winnie the Pooh, and I decided to read it, too. The Pooh stories are one
