Summary: Great book for both kids and the young at heart
Review: I enjoyed this book tremendously. As an adult, I enjoyed the simplicity in which Milne writes his thoughts through Pooh and Christopher Robin.

Rating:
Summary: I love to read Pooh.
Review: I LOVE to read all about Pooh. His "expotitions" are fun and cute. I like Piglet best. I like him because he is cute and small and can fit in your pocket. I think Pooh should stay the way A. A. Milne made him up, not the way Disney does him. Have fun reading! Amelia Brown, age 8, Wash DC

Summary: If there is one book you should read this is it
Review: No child should ever cross a bridge without playing Poohsticks and if you don't know what a heffalump is then get reading. These books are great reading and good fun. I can't recommend them enough.

Summary: Among the formative books of my very English childhood.
Review: When I was very small, I was read The House at Pooh Corner, Winnie the Pooh, When We Were Very Small and Now We Are Six by two very old-fashioned aunts who clearly enjoyed them as much as I did. I grew to worship Rabbit and his dry humour, helped by my aunts' similarly subtle and rather understated sense of the ridiculous. Returning to the books as a father some thirty-five years later, I find they're still fresh. While I don't like to suggest that Disney gets it wrong, I should hate for children to get their only notions of the world of Christopher Robin and his toys from the film(s). The books are of a time and a place; 1920's/30's England. Their words were written to be heard or read with an idea of context (cf the audio tapes read by Alan Bennett) With this in mind, it is possible for these books to have a universal appeal. My five-year-old daughter cannot quite get all the, remarkably sophisticated, nuances of A.A. Milne's humour and language, but she laughs in most of the right places just because she enjoys the stories. She keeps on wanting to hear more, and that's strong testimony - and I still find Winnie the Pooh an absolute hoot in places.

Summary: must read for the kids
Review: If you have or know any children at all, you'll want to read chapters of this book to them. The original Milne Pooh stories are superb, and the whimsical language is what makes them great. Skip any and all disney versions. The language and the stories are inferior."You're just in time for a little smackerel of something " becomes "let's have a snack" . The orignal stories are memorable and fascinating. Do not waste your time with anything else.

Summary: Real Classics don't need new twists
Review: The children's book of the century (I humbly think) in which we meet A. A. Milne's Winnie The Pooh, and the companion-sequel The House at Pooh Corner. Chocked full of hidden wisdom, Expotitions (Expeditions), lessons in friendship and a bear's eye view of life, this collection features Mr. (Ernest) Shepard's original illustrations from Christopher Robin's childhood surroundings, and his well known friends Pooh, Piglet, Tigger, Eeyore, Rabbit (and all his friends and relations, Kanga and Roo, and the mysteriously absent Heffalumps and Woozles. Sit back with a child and Winnie the Pooh, and learn what it means to be "friends forever."

Summary: My favorite story of all time!
Review: On my fifth birthday, among other things, I received a rather large box. Inside it was a 15" Winnie-the-Pooh doll and _The World of Pooh_. (_The World of Pooh_ contained _Winnie-the-Pooh_ and _The House at Pooh Corner_.) Since then, I cannot count the number of times I've read the different Pooh stories. I've bought all the books I can find of Pooh, as well as the stuffed animals. Pooh has definitely become a favorite of mine because of this book. (I still have the book and the doll.)
