The Complete Winnie-the-Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner

Hello, I'm StoryMaker. While glancing at the bookshelf, I spotted The World of Pooh - an old, brown copy with no dust jacket - and was inspired to review it.

The World of Pooh is a very good book. It is the original, classic, A. A. Milne Pooh, and a lot of it. Timeless & simple, it is a must for young & old. The red-shirt-free, non-Disney, classic Pooh books by A. A. Milne are old, but to this very day satisfy young children. That's the magic about it.

Why is the classic Pooh better than the Disney Pooh? Well, there are plenty of reasons.

First of all, the characters are better. They are not exaggerated like Disney's. They are kinder yet still quite funny. They are really more charming and really better. As some would say, they have higher quality.

Second, A. A. Milne's stories are timeless. You'd think a kid wouldn't care, but seriously. They satisfy generation after generation and don't change over time. (And I'm not talking about the change of the cover and binding and amount of wear & tear!) Look at the changes of Disney's Pooh. First classic animation, then puppets, then CGI. As the world changes, so does Disney Pooh. But A. A. Milne's classics are timeless and can be loved age to age. They're Grandpappy approved! XD

The World of Pooh gathers many Pooh classic stories and puts them in one book. I have a young cousin & his parents have introduced him to A. A. Milne's Pooh and aren't sure they will show him Disney. Good for them! These stories are better. If you have a youngster, I recommend you do the same. You can get The World of Pooh for pretty cheap nowadays, so why not? Also check out A. A. Milne's poem books, When We Were Very Young and Now We Are Six. You'll love 'em, too! Signed, StoryMaker. "Gotta trust the kid's review!"

World of pooh

"Here is Edward Bear coming downstairs now, bump, bump, bump, on the back of his head, behind Christopher Robin. It is as far as he knows, the only way of coming downstairs, but sometimes he feels that there really is another way, if only he could stop bumping for a moment and think of it." So begins the magical tales of Winnie the Pooh and his friends in Christopher Robin's imaginary world. The World of Pooh by A. A. Milne is a series of stories that warm the heart.
This book is nothing like the movies. In fact I find it hard to find a book that is anything like it. I say movies because many have tried to capture the magic between the pages. All have failed. Perhaps that is because they tried to make it easier to understand. Although it is a children's book, the World of Pooh is complex and has many truthful statements. "Rabbit is very clever" says Pooh to Piglet one day "maybe that's why he doesn't understand very much." Many people have not read the book because the movies ruined its image. It is no longer the happy, innocent, truthful book, but a sad attempt the book.
One of my favorite parts is at the end when Christopher Robin and Pooh come to an enchanted place at the top of the forest. There isn't a lot of description or lots of words, but you can image the place in your head. "What do you like doing best in the world Pooh?" says Christopher Robin to Pooh one day in the enchanted place, "Well," said Pooh, "what I like best- " and then he had to stop and think. Because although Eating Honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he doesn't know what it's called"
I highly recommend reading the World of Pooh. It is one of my favorite books. I think this is because it is one of those books that makes you feel all fuzzy inside.
It is relaxing and makes you feel at peace with the world. A cozy book. A Zen book. Perhaps this is due to Pooh himself, who ambles through life without a care in the world, putting aside bees, Woozles, and losing his honey in floods.

Winnie the Pooh,a bear, has different adventures with all his friends: Christopher Robin , Piget, Rabbit, Owl, Kanga, Roo, Tiger, and many more. I like this book because it is funny. Pooh and his friends are cute (from the pictures) and have great and different personalities. Please buy and read this great book. You will love the characters.

A classic that really warms the heart! Still, to this day, an absolute pleasure to read!

A book for children (if the adults don't get to it first!) but definitely not 'childish'.

Beautiful, simple illustrations and a wonderful tale of innocent Adventures that beg to be read again and again!

If this book is not on your (or your child's) book shelf . . . well . . . there's just something . . . Missing!

This is the best version of Pooh. Not the contaminated Disney version by any means. This is the pure bear of little brain. This particular version is enhanced by full color paintings by Mr Shephard which will knock your socks off!
