Rating:  Summary: Not Disney's Pooh Review: Every Winnie the Pooh fan needs to have this in their collection. Excellent for kids, and adults too. Pooh is great for kids, and represents a delightful simplicity for adults. Read this, read The Tao of Pooh by Benjamin Hoff, and then read this book again.
Rating:  Summary: Fabulous! Review: For any collector of Winnie-the-Pooh this edition is a must have! It has thick pages and is nicely bound and will withstand many years of reading. I don't think I need to talk about the story--everyone is pretty familiar with Winnie-the-Pooh. It is a great bargain as it contains the COMPLETE tales & poems. It would make a wonderful holiday present.
Rating:  Summary: Pooh Corner Review: I bought this book as a baby shower gift, and couldn't have been more pleased. It has an attractive cover, sturdy pages, and a good binding -- all necessary for years of bedtime stories! Like most classic Pooh books, the only illustrations are the original drawings, so the emphasis is on the story. One note: This is a big, fairly heavy book. It's something to be read to or by an older child, maybe at bedtime, but it's not as durable for the poundings board books get.

Rating:  Summary: Pooh Corner Review: I loved Pooh as a child and know have been able to introduce Pooh to my own kids. It has a generational appeal. A few years ago, a friend of mine lost a 6-year-old son through an accident where older children were playing with a handgun. The funeral featured the boy's favorite poem from Milne with the final line, "Now that I'm six, I'm as clever as clever. I think I'll stay six forever and ever."The double meaning and emotions from the loss of this young Pooh fan will always be with me. Another book for bedtimes that is full of love, adventure, and wisdom is Original Animals by Horton. I encourage you to check it out. You will be glad you did.
Rating:  Summary: Baby Shower Mainstay Review: I sent this collection to a girlfriend for her baby shower because she had a Pooh theme. She was so excited and couldn't believe it was her only book! She and her husband love the stories and read them even before the baby was born. She agrees that books are great shower gift and help keep the mom sane. This is a wonderful collection that you can't get bored with.
Rating:  Summary: The REAL Pooh Review: No childhood - or adulthood, for that matter - would be complete without the adventures of wonderful Winnie and his friends. This 75th anniversary edition is beautifully presented, and readers used to Disney's glossily commercial drawings will be amazed by the original Ernest H. Shepard illustrations featured here. Coloured by Shepard when he was in his 90s (!), Pooh, Piglet, Christopher Robin and co have never seemed more endearing and vivid. But the greatest credit should surely go to A.A. Milne for creating some of fiction's most delightful characters. Reading this collection today after a break of 30-odd years, Milne's gentle wit and enthusiasm seem as fresh as ever. What a wonderful sense of life (and fun) the man must have possessed. Pooh is the perfect antidote to today's cynical times!
Rating:  Summary: Beautiful and wonderful to share with kids. Review: The artwork is exquisite, and little ones follow the story from page to page. Reading brings a new world to my little boy, and encourages them to open books on their own.

Rating:  Summary: Wonderful! Review: The delightful full color illustrations by Ernest H. Shepard are what separate this combined volume from all others. A must-have for Pooh fans. The large type-set will be appreciated by those needing it.
