Winnie-the-Pooh Book Review


By A. A. Milne
Illustrated by Ernest H. Shepard

*****

A father tells his beloved son, Christopher Robin, a series of cheerful adventures in Winnie-the-Pooh. The characters of these timeless stories are Christopher Robin himself, along with all his nursery animals, with emphasis, of-course, on his favourite, Pooh Bear.

Winnie-the-Pooh brings to life some of the dearest childhood friends, from worried Piglet to all-knowing Owl and even gloomy old Eeyore. Each animal becomes a faithful companion as you travel the marvelous journey of this book.

This classic is broken into ten chapters, each the perfect size for a story to prepare your dreams before bed-time. Ideal for children who have a collection of stuffed friends, as well as anyone who enjoys darling portals of the child's imagination. Milne does write very intellectually English so explanation may be necessary for younger children.

Winnie-the-Pooh is a book that will never be forgotten by children, it's almost got the feel of a security blanket, it's so adorable and fills you with "the warm and fuzzies". You know you will always have a smile spread your face if you have Winne-the-Pooh in your hands.
