Book Reviews of Winnie the Pooh
Book Review: A Charming and Enduring Children's Classic
Summary: 5 Stars
For various reasons I never had a chance to read Winnie-the-Pooh before, and when I finally got around it I discovered a truly charming and fun story. To say that this book is a classic of children's literature would be an understatement. In many respects this is one of the books in that genre that all others are inevitably compared to.
One thing that first impressed me with this book was the quality of writing. I had been familiar with illustrations of Winnie-the-Pooh and other characters form before, and always found them very charming. However, a big part of the enduring value of these characters comes from the text and the personality that they express in various situations throughout the book. Besides the title character, this is the book where we first come across Piglet, Eeyore, the Owl and all the other well known members of the Pooh lore.
One thing that I particularly liked about the writing was that even though it was clearly intended for the younger audience, the author was never condescending in what he had to say. Furthermore, the stories in this book deal with such enduring and simple themes that this book does not feel like it has aged at all since it had been written.
Unfortunately, despite a few hints to the contrary, we don't get any closer to finding out where did Winnie-the-Pooh get that peculiar name. I guess it will just be another one of those things that we have to take without questioning it further.
Summary of Winnie the Pooh
Happy 80th birthday, Pooh! The Bear of Very Little Brain and his friends from the Hundred Acre Wood have delighted generations of readers since Winnie-the-Pooh was first published in 1926. This deluxe anniversary edition of Winnie-the-Pooh is the perfect way to celebrate the enduring popularity of A. A. Milne?s classic work. The interior features the unabridged text and Ernest H. Shepard?s charming illustrations in full color on cream-colored stock. The specially designed jacket sports gold ink and a die-cut window that reveals the full-color art on the case cover. It is an impressive package for new fans and collectors both. Three cheers for Pooh!Bears Books
