Christopher Robin and his lovable Winnie-the-Pooh are quite
inseparable. However, in the Hundred Acre Wood, the two rarely
cross paths as Pooh spends much of his time tormenting the bees in
various trees as he attempts to sneak off with some of their honey;
searching for Eeyore's illustrious tail, which manages to disappear
quite often; prances among the wood with wee Piglet searching for
Woozle's and Heffalump's; bothers wise Owl as he attempts to
receive answers to his many burning questions; tricking lovable
Kanga as he rushes off with the young Roo; and aggravating Rabbit
by getting stuck in his front door. However, no matter what the
wonderful Pooh does, Christopher Robin still feels love for his
crazy, silly old bear.
I have loved WINNIE-THE-POOH since I first began reading, and was
overjoyed to find this brand new, 80th Anniversary Edition of the
classic children's tales that won my heart years ago. The
illustrations by Ernest H. Shepard filling each and every page are
exquisite, as are the thick, butter-colored pages that the
wonderful words are printed on. The fabulous thing about this
collection is that each chapter is a tale of its own, so they are
perfect for bedtime. My only qualm is that there is no sign of
Tigger within these pages; however, hopefully he'll come along in
the next installment. A delightful, must-own collection for any
POOH fan - just in time for the holidays!
