Winnie-The-Pooh

By A.A. Milne

Join Christopher Robin and all of his friends—Piglet, Rabbit, Eeyore, Owl, Kanga, Little Roo, and, of course, Winnie-the-Pooh himself—in the magical Hundred Acre Wood. Pooh, the sweet and simple Bear of Very Little Brain, finds no end of trouble, but, along with all of his friends, is able to turn every problem into a wonderful adventure.

Author A. A. Milne originally started writing stories about Winnie-the-Pooh for his son, Christopher Robin, and it was not long before Pooh became a household name. Since then, the characters and stories of Winnie-the-Pooh have become a mainstay in children’s literature and popular culture.

Reviews for Winnie-The-Pooh

[thoughtsofjoylibrary · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends from the Hundred Acre Wood are up to romping around again and Tigger is introduced to the gang.I absolutely loved the first book in this series, but this one lost all its charm. The humor and adorable interactions were missing and the narrated voices were ridiculous. I was very disappointed this time around. (2/5)Originally posted on: "Thoughts of Joy..."

This childhood favourite still has appeal nearly 50 (ugh!) years later.

The audio version including Judi Dench and others is fun to listen to in the car! Highly recommended.

Although occasionally challenging, there are useful drawings to keep your comprehension of events on track.
At least, that's how I remember it.

Wow. So charming. I was coming to these stories fresh, never having read the stories as a child. Sharing them with my son was amazing. The writing is clever without being precious. Plenty going on in the writing to entertain both children and adults. Marvelous.

This is the story of Pooh bear and his friends in the Hundred Acre Wood. This is a classic book that teaches the value of friendship.

I might be jumping ahead, reading to my son before he's even born and able to express his preferences, but maybe that's all the more reason to be reading this classics now...A.A. Milne's book is really enjoyable. It's smart enough to have some laughs for adults without any raunchiness - just wit. It's also action-packed in a gentle, non-anxiety-inducing-way for the toddlers that you're trying to usher off into dreamtime.

Had Christopher Robin and his silly old bear been shot in the head at the beginning, it could have been a pretty good book.
I don't like beings with very little brain, although I don't particularly hate them either, but I do hate those who find them cute, so actually I hate the overratedness of the book rather than the book itself. (Same with The Little Prince.)

I thought it was a good book and it was very cute. I would like it more than others because i really love winnie the pooh and when i read it i felt like i was in the hundred acre wood. Its good to read to little kids.

[isaacfellows · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

To put it simply, this is (despite its age) one of the freshest works of fiction I've read in a long time. The playful approach to narration and the perfectly integrated illustrations (which are themselves some of the best and freshest examples of their kind I've seen) amaze me; but really it's the snappy language, the perfect turns of phrase that have stayed with me. This is a Sustaining Book, a true masterpiece that's all the more so masterful for seeming so easy, almost accidental.

[fastawker · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This is one of those books that I thought I had read but really hadn't. I knew all the stories from when I was a child but loved reading them now as an adult. I found myself laughing out loud at these wonderful stories.

[ladytoni_1 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I used to buy anything Winnie the Pooh when my children and grandchildren were growing up and even at my age I'm enjoying reading this one very much. I still read (supposedly) childrens classics.

[sbenne3 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

How can you not love this timeless classic (especially reading it to your kids every night before bed !!). No wonder these characters live on today. The story is endearing and I really enjoyed the writing style - great for kids and the adults who get the pleasure to read to them. If you have little ones, I highly recommend adding it to your list.

[daisy_may-1 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Delightful, and full of witty, gentle humour. I'm so glad I've finally read it properly, rather than just skimming through, and surprised it's taken me so long to do so.

[liabee · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I can't remember reading this book as a child, and I didn't read it to mine. What a shame! This was charming, surprisingly dry, and very entertaining, even for an adult. Not surprised that the author and illustrator worked for Punch. It's got that subtle something.

A delightful children’s book I never read as a child or to a child. Never too late and not a minute too soon.

[becks2611 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

A wonderful childhood tale of a boy and his bear that chronicles their adventures in the Hundred Acre Wood. A true classic for children and adults of all ages!

[lefty33 · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Delightful stories of the Hundred-Acre Wood and all of its lovable characters. Pooh and friends have quite a few adventures (or misadventures) in this collection of Winnie-the-Pooh stories. The stories remind me of childhood, making them special each time I reread them. I wouldn't even be able to choose my favorite chapter in this book -- each one is full of wonder, laughter, and Pooh.

[merkabaza · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

A wonderfully innocent and charming read. Characters that any child would instantly fall in love with and a world that holds a great multitude of exciting adventures.

[rbeene-1 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

A childhood favorite.

[cassiewinters-2 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

The Disney film stayed very true to this book, but there is a magic in reading the story instead. I enjoyed this immensely and would recommend it to anyone that has seen the films or anyone looking for wholesome tales to tell their children. I was more than pleased with this book and glad it is one of the books I finally read even if it was as an adult.

I`m a sucker for the kids stories! Love Winnie The Pooh!

I had forgotten how funny these actually are. :)

[cheryl_in_cc_nv · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I don't think I've read the whole book straight through more than once, and should again. But I've definitely read all the original chapters, and they do, of course, beat the adaptations all hollow.

[av0415 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I didn't know Winnie-the-Pooh is originally a book. I thought it was first released as a cartoon show. Anyway, this is really an entertaining read. I learned a lot about Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends like Pooh is Edward Bear and he is not very much bright, and Piglet is so small he fits in a pocket.

[andrewkbrown · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

I love reading this to my children. The voices of the characters are so distinctive and the language that Milne squeezes into this classic make it a total delight.

[kscarlett01 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This is a classic novel about Winnie the Pooh and his friends that live in the woods with him. This book is a great for children of all ages. The book can be used to focus on the importance of friendship.

[kristymk18-1 · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

So adorable. I loved the TV Show Winnie-the-Pooh growing up and it saddens me that I waited this long to read the books. Cute stories that any child (or adult :D ) will love.

I love me some Pooh.
