The Collected Stories of Winnie-the-Pooh: A Full Cast Dramatization of Winnie-the-Pooh and the House at Pooh Corner
Author

A. A. Milne

A.A.Milne was born in London in 1882 and became a highly successful writer of plays, poems and novels. He based Winnie-the-Pooh, Piglet and friends on the real nursery toys of his son Christopher Robin and published the first book of their adventures together in 1926. Since then, Pooh has become a world-famous bear, and Milne’s stories have been translated into seventy-two languages.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.'.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    we read the book in school in Germany. It is very nice. but I think it is for small children. The storys of Winnie Pooh are nice and easy to understand. It is the first book we read in English class in Germany.

    This was a very interesting experience, not least of which because I am a huge Pooh fan. This was delightful. Rabbit wasn't as endearing as he is on screen, a bit underhanded and prejudicial against outsiders. I thought that the whole place was the Hundred Acre Wood, but it must only be a small part of the entirety of Pooh's world. Interesting. Rabbit had a lot of relatives, but there was no Tigger and no Gopher. Not that I'm surprised. Gopher kind of was fazed out lately anyway. And Tigger seemed very Disney to start with. I'll keep listening to them though. It's interesting.

    Winny de Puh is the Spanish edition of Winnie the Pooh by A.A. Milne. The book consists of ten chapters which are different stories or adventures of Pooh and his friends. The story of Winnie the Pooh is an interesting spin on traditional literature with morals. While there aren't explicitly stated morals of each tale as if they were parables, Pooh offers unique philosophical perspectives on his situations, relationships and life in general. While the stories in the book may seem directed at younger audiences, even higher level readers can benefit from discussions related to Pooh's interesting perspectives.Specifically the Spanish edition could all provide a very fun and light-hearted source of Spanish-language reading to develop the reading comprehension skills of more advanced Spanish students.

    I grew up on Winnie-the-Pooh, but only the Disney version. I mean, I had wood-cuts of the figures hanging on my wall as a child, along with Pooh curtains, Pooh bedspread, and even a Pooh lamp and coat rack. But somehow, someway, I had never been exposed to the original book. I picked this copy up a few years ago at a thrift store in New Bern that no longer exists and finally sat down to read it.This book was pretty much guaranteed to find a place in my heart because of the place Pooh already had, but the whole structure of the storytelling makes it jump to the top of the list. Here we have the story of the narrator (obviously Milne) telling stories to his son Christopher Robin about his adventures with his toys. This is what parenthood is, folks. Milne creates the world in which his son imagines himself, and his son loves every minute of it, completely buying the stories his father tells him as truth, because why wouldn't he?And the way the stories are written, we are immediately a part of this world that Milne has created for his son. That's the magic of a good children's story.This book is definitely going to find a regular place in my children's bedtime stories.

    Winnie-the-Pooh was exactly what I needed. I basically read it in one sitting and smiled the entire time. There are scenes from one's childhood that seem fixed in place. They are immoveable and grounded in such a way that it's as if they were always there. Many times you try to revisit them in your adulthood and discover that they were little more than cardboard sets and a man pulling strings. Christopher Robin and his friends in the Hundred Acre Wood are a completely different ball of wax. In fact, I learned more about these beloved characters through this book. For instance, did you know that Winnie-the-Pooh had a different name? (I'd tell you what it was but that would be a spoiler. (-: ) Or that Tigger didn't show up until the second book in the series? I recommend that everyone read this book with their children (or nieces, cousins, etc.) because it's beautiful. The storylines are sweet, the illustrations are enchanting, and the way it makes you feel is indescribable.
