Rating:  Summary: wisdom Review: This bear became my hero and my best friend. I only got to know him when I was alteady eighteen, but he has so much to give to people of all ages. I only wish there were more of his adventures!
Rating:  Summary: One of the most unforgettable books I have ever read Review: Winnie-the-Pooh is as fresh and charming for me today as he was 30 years ago when my parents gave me Winnie-the-Pooh for my 5th birthday. My memories of this book are more vivid than for any other in my childhood. It retains its beauty, simplicity and charm, despite the attempts of Disney to rip the soul out of it.If you missed the Winnie-the-Pooh books as a child, buy it now and spend a gentle afternoon in the world of imagination. If you are buying it for a child, be encouraged! - you are buying a book that will open up a world for them they will never forget. This is a book that will entertain and engross your kids without setting "bad examples" or exposing them to anything you'd prefer they didn't find out about just yet. It will teach them about the beauty of friendship and accepting those around us regardless of their failings. I bought this edition to give to my brother - we had a "custody battle" over our (MY!) treasured 30 yr old copy. It's beautifully presented (but I'm still hanging on to my old one!).
Rating:  Summary: One of the Most Memorable Books Ever Written Review: One doesn't need to be a child to enjoy this book!I originally bought this for my son twenty years ago, and am now purchasing it for my granddaughter. My son still loves reading the stories that he and I enjoyed together in quiet times, "when he was very young". The stories are truly timeless, and the illustrations help evoke a beautiful, simpler time...a must for every library where excellent literature is appreciated.
Rating:  Summary: Absolutely classic literature! A must-read for all ages. Review: This collection is an essential part of any library. One ofthe best set of stories ever created. So tender, smart, amusing &clever. I can't believe that there is anyone who has never heard ofPiglet, Pooh & Co.; but, this particular collection is so beautifully packaged & presented that even if you own other editions-you'll need this one! It's perfect. As someone else wrote, indulge yourself & those you love by buying this book.
Rating:  Summary: My very most favorite book, since I was three! Review: My mother introduced me to Edward Bear, Pooh and Co., shortly after a friend gave me a stuffed Pooh, complete with peach-fuzz pelt, little red sweater, and muffler, when I was three. Within weeks, I had memorized most of the poems in the two collateral books ("Now We Are Six," "When We Were Very Young") and all of the Hums... "The more it rains, Tiddly-Pom..." Our family alarm soon became "Tut! Tut! It looks like rain!" And our birthday wishes became "Hipy Papy Bth...." and remain so to this day. My stuffed Pooh went everywhere with me, including college and Florida for Spring Break, and to this day, more than 50 years later, resides - what's left of him - in my dresser drawer. I can still recite many of the poems and hums by heart, and my standard baby shower gift, a hardcover library of the children's classics, always includes all four volumes. I can't think of a better, gentler, more fun way to introduce children to the wonders of the imagination, reading, verse, wit, language... you name it. I still have my original four hardcover books and haul them out every so often for a refresher. These books have stood the test of time for all ages of readers, in spite of Disney's disgraceful attempt to co-opt and cutesify them - truly the definition of classic. Indulge yourself and the children in your life - you won't regret it.
Rating:  Summary: This could not be a better book Review: I could not say enough good things about this book so all I am going to say is read it you'll enjoy it.
Rating:  Summary: The best book ever written Review: I love the book and I think it is the best book ever written. The pace is slow and relaxing and it doesnt teach kids the wrong kind of things. My daughter loves the "silly old bear"and his friends
Rating:  Summary: ABSOLUTELY MARVELOUS!!!! A MUST READ FOR ALL AGES!!!! Review: The pooh books are without a doubt some of the best books in the world. They're just some of those books that will never go out of style and you never get too old for. They are great literary works, and I am deeply saddened to know that Milne is deceased and cannot write another book so great!
Rating:  Summary: The greatest Western Taoist ever Review: I was first introduced to the original Pooh through "The Tao of Pooh," which helped me to appreciate that Pooh actually does possess an ultimate sort of wisdom of what should be done to enjoy life: nothing. A very important sort of nothing, which I do a lot of now. He's my hero.
Rating:  Summary: Winnie the Pooh is timeless literature for all children! Review: I have been reading Winnie the Pooh since I was a child. I bought this book for myself and enjoyed all the simple adventures of Pooh and his friends. I am now purchasing another for my godchild so he can enjoy this wonderful treasury!
