    I enjoyed reading this book again, especially with the movie Christopher Robin coming out. I read the 80th Anniversary Edition (it came out in 2006) which means that this book is close to celebrating its 100th Anniversary and is just as inviting to children today as it was then. The book is made up of chapters, which are actually individual stories. Winnie-The-Pooh was actually called Edward Bear, and Christopher Robin named him Winnie the Pooh after seeing Winnie the Bear at the zoo. All the characters I remember were in the book, stuffed animals Piglet, Kanga and Roo, real animals Rabbit and Owl. Tigger is not in this book, he appeared in the second one. Children will enjoy these stories about these talking animals and their friend Christopher Robin. They are constantly having adventures or getting themselves in trouble. Such fun! Reading one story a night before bedtime would help introduce a new generation to Winnie-The-Pooh. The illustrations are reproductions from the original watercolours done by Ernest H. Shepard and are so whimsical and bring back an earlier, easygoing time.I didn’t remember the songs that Pooh made up in the story, but I still remember the songs from the Disney movie. My mother bought me a copy of the soundtrack on LP and I listened to it over and over. I loved those songs. I am happy that I got a chance to read it again.

    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.

    Another Classic that I really thought I would enjoy since I am an arctophile (a person who collects or is very fond of teddy bears) but imagine my surprise when I didn't like it.I don't know whether it was the treatment that Winnie received or the writing, but not a favorite for me.

    I read this to my youngest child, who is 9 years old. This was a childhood book for me and although I remembered some of the stories I hadn't remembered all. It is dated in that the sentences are so long, and the way it is worded. I hadn't realised either that it is set up as though someone is telling a child the stories. I found that made it a little disjointed.

    Some of the dialogue is deliberately messy in an attempt to humour, but it seemed to confuse rather than be funny, although that is as much down to the reader and their ability to understand the intention.

    We still enjoyed the stories and illustrations, and the different defined characters. As an adult I read far more into the characters and stories than I would have perceived as a child. Like how Eeyore is so down and negative all the time, and how everyone ignores this about him, and how Rabbit was against the arrival of Kanga & Roo in the forest and tried to force them to leave in quite a drastic, aggressive way - kidnapping Roo and holding him hostage. It sheds a very different story of the dreaming remembrances of my childhood.

    Christopher Robin, Winnie-the-Pooh, and all their friends have adventures in the woods and meadows around Christopher Robin's home. Eeyore is always depressed but included in the friends' adventures. Pooh has, as he himself says, very little brain, and he loves his honey, but he tries to be kind and generous, even if he doesn't always get it right. Owl lives in the Hundred Acre Wood, and everyone knows he's the wisest of them, even if perhaps he doesn't know quite as much as he might. All the friends are distressed and alarmed, and perhaps a little jealous, because of the arrival in their forest of Kanga, and her tiny child, Roo, whom she carries in her pocket.

    These are delightful stories that most adults will remember from childhood, and Peter Dennis reads them beautifully.

    Recommended.

    This is a book I should have read already. And it is one I should have read to my children...but I didn't. Well...not all of them. More's the pity, because it is so delightfully innocent and charming. I've seen, over the years, much backlash on Disney's take, but I think they captured Pooh well. I admit that all of the voices in my head as I read this were theirs - Sebastian Cabot, Sterling Holloway and Jim Cummings, John Fiedler, Hal Smith, Ralph Wright and Peter Cullen... But not Paul Winchell...seems I must read more to see when Tigger appears.Wonderful. And about time.

    Children's stories about a boy and his stuffies. The characters in this story; Piglet, Rabbit, Owl, Eeyore, Kanga and Roo. The stories are set int he 100 acre woods (England). Pooh is naive and slow-witted, but he is also friendly, thoughtful, and steadfast. Pooh does have ideas driven by common sense. These include riding in Christopher Robin's umbrella to rescue Piglet from a flood, discovering "the North Pole" by picking it up to help fish Roo out of the river, inventing the game of Poohsticks, and getting Eeyore out of the river by dropping a large rock on one side of him to wash him towards the bank.Pooh is also a talented poet, and the stories are frequently punctuated by his poems and "hums." This story addresses anxieties, kindness, empathy and friendship.

    Winnie-the-Pooh is a classic that I love reading with kids. The language is surprisingly complex, but the stories are lovely and simple and the characters so sweet, that kids absolutely adore this book. I think it's a great change of pace from reading novels with more complex stories, but simpler language, and I really think it is key in developing readers. But that may be that I just think these books (and their beautiful pictures) are so cute. I like this book to read WITH kids who are between preschool and mid-elementary age.

    I have read snippets of the Winnie-the-Pooh stories, but never in their entirety. They are truly lovely, and filled with a wit and playful use of words that is just as entertaining as an adult. Children are captured by the cute, innocent and playful world; adults pick up on the side-splitting humor.

    And yes, when I read this book, it is the Disney voices of Pooh, Piglet, and others that I hear in my head. ;-)

    One of my favorites:

    "The thing to do is as follows. First, Issue a Reward. Then---"
    "Just a moment,"said Pooh, holding up his paw. "What do we do to this--what you were saying? You sneezed just as you were going to tell me."
    "I didn't sneeze."
    "Yes, you did, Owl."
    "Excuse me, Pooh, I didn't. You can't sneeze without knowing it."
    "Well, you can't know it without something having been sneezed."
    "What I said was, 'First, Issue a Reward.'"
    "You're doing it again," said Pooh sadly.

    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.

    How do you review such a charming sweet classic? Maybe you don't. It is whimsical and lyrical, and very very tongue in cheek and aimed at the adults as well as the children. And has some very clever bits (the bit where Pooh and Piglet hunt their own footprints is lovely) and some bits that make the over sensitised liberal in me cringe (Pooh eats too much when visiting, and gets stuck, and gets starved for a week.) And I'm not sure what to make of the plot 'Rabbit decides something should be done about Kanga, because she is Strange, and decides to steal her child to encourage her to leave the forest, but she deals with it with good humour and then they all stay as friends.'.

    I listened to this audiobook on a recent road trip with my children. It had been a long time since I read Milne's book with many viewings of Disney's The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh in the intervening years. The surprising thing for me is just how much of the dialogue for the film is taken right from the book. Of course there are many differences as well. Rabbit seems to be a meaner character and by the time he plotted to have Kanga and Roo removed from The Hundred Acre Woods, I figured he was the type who voted for Brexit. The kids enjoyed listening to this book and there was much laughter. I especially enjoy Milne's playful narration that has the seemingly omniscient narrator interacting with a child presumably listening to him reading, much as a parent may when making up stories using a child's toys. A forever classic in any format!

    Summary - This book was a whole bunch of little stories. Winnie the pooh was always getting himself into something. He tried to figure out how to get honey with a balloon. Personal Reaction - As a child I remember watching these shows on TV but never really thought of reading the book. When I did finally end up reading it I thought it was ok. I really have never been into Winnie the Pooh books. Classroom Extension Ideas - 1. Play with balloons and try and pick stuff up with them.2. Sing the Winnie the Pooh song.

    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.

    The iddly-riddly-oodly-rum-tum-tum stuff and Milne's constant baby-talky switching of pronouns and names ("he" for "Bear" for "Pooh" for "Christopher Robin" for "you") are a bit much to wade through, often, and speak to what a very, very babied boy the original Christopher Robin must have been (and I'm all for trying to raise gentle sons but here it's still trailing strands of empire and you can't help but wonder which beach 2LT Christopher Robin stormed at Normandy). So that's thick and sometimes disturbing treacle to wade through. But underneath that, each of these stories is a slow-paced, sentimental delight, ideal for sending toddlers to happy sleep and giving them treacle to chew over in their dreams, like where are those heffalumps anyway.

    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 hardly know what to say about Winnie-the-Pooh. I have a lot of memories tied up in it that I couldn't help thinking of as I read it (including one unpleasant one where as a bitty little girl, I read in bed with the massive complete collection book, and had it on my stomach, and began to feel very queasy...). In some ways it seems much funnier now I'm an adult and understand the wordplay and the remarks that are made at the expense of the characters.

    I love the illustrations, too -- they're perfect: less fully formed than the Disney, and (in editions that are in colour) in fainter colours, somehow more dreamlike.

    My favourite story in this book (the first) is probably the one about Eeyore's tail. And my favourite parts are the poems/songs Pooh writes/sings.

    It would be an awfully funny thing to write my essay -- in the final year of my degree! -- on Winnie-the-Pooh, wouldn't it?

    This book is great to read to children of many ages. Especially for children learning about friendship. This book is about Winnie the Pooh who lived alone in the forest. His friend Christopher Robin lived in a different part of the woods. Winnie the pooh had friends who lived in the woods also named Piglet, Eeyore, Rabbit, Owl, And Kanga who was baby Roos mother. Read to see what wonderful times they have together!
