The Complete Tales of Winnie-The-Pooh

A classic story and beautiful illustrations.

Winnie the Pooh The Complete Tales is a great read. The book is loaded with a lot of color illustrations. Like other children’s books with wonderful artwork, such as Beatrix Potter The Complete Tales, Dinotopia, Watership Down, and The Wind In The Willows, the color illustrations really enhance the storytelling.I’ve been rereading some of my favorite children’s stories that I read during my preteen and teen years. As a middle-aged guy I enjoyed revisiting Beatrix Potter The Complete Tales, Charlotte’s Web, Winnie the Pooh The Complete Tales, Treasure Island, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz, Watership Down and The Wind in the Willows as much, maybe even more, than I did as a kid. All classics.I’d shelve Dinotopia and the first Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, with this group of classic children’s stories too.Normally I’m a sampler. I haven’t seen any of the movies from the following series, but I did read the first books, Twilight, Outlander, Fifty Shades of Grey, Divergent, etc. I sample a lot of first books, but I don’t read many complete series. The Hunger Games series by Suzanne Collins, and The Song of Ice and Fire (Game of Thrones) series by George Martin are a couple of exceptions.Other sci-fi and fantasy authors I like include Douglas Adams, Isaac Asimov, Paolo Bacigalupi, Jack Campbell, Arthur C. Clarke, Earnest Cline, Abe Evergreen, Robert A. Heinlein, Hugh Howey, Larry Niven, Patrick Rothfuss, Brandon Sanderson, John Scalzi, and Andy Weir.

The Complete Tales of Winnie-The-Pooh is a charming and heartwarming collection of stories that will transport readers of all ages to the whimsical world of the Hundred Acre Wood. Written by A.A. Milne and illustrated by E.H. Shepard, this classic book has captured the hearts of generations since its first publication in 1926.The collection includes ten stories featuring the beloved characters of Winnie-the-Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore, Tigger, and more. Each story is filled with delightful adventures, endearing friendships, and valuable life lessons. From searching for honey to hosting a party, the stories are simple yet captivating, making it a perfect read for children and adults alike.What makes this book truly special is the beautiful bond between the characters. The friendship between Pooh and his friends is heartwarming and teaches readers the importance of kindness, loyalty, and acceptance. As Pooh would say, 'A day without a friend is like a pot without a single drop of honey left inside.'

🍀 Absolutely brilliant, beautiful, and most importantly, heart warming! 😊🕊

I bought this for my two children I love very much.There are ten stories in Winnie the Pooh, but I'll summarize two.Piglet meets a Heffalump:In this story Pooh and Piglet decide to catch a Heffalump. To do this they think of a very ingenious trap: they will dig a hole in the ground just where the Heffalump will step. The Heffalump won't ever see it coming because he'll be looking up to the sky to see if it is about to rain, or if it already rains, he will be looking up if it clears up. To lure the Heffalump they put a pot of honey in the pit. But in the evening in bed Pooh gets hungry so he goes to the pit and sticks his head in the pot, where it is stuck. Piglet decides to have a look in the pit and sees a Heffalump, runs off and gets Christopher Robin who explains it is only Pooh with a pot on his head....Expedition to the North pole:Christopher Robin musters all the animals to go on an expedition to find the North Pole. They set out but the road is full of dangerous places and possible ambushes. Suddenly Roo falls into the water. Eeyore tries to save him with his tail, but it doesn't work. Then Pooh finds a long stick and holds it out for Roo to grab and he pulls him out. The long stick turns out to be the North Pole, Pooh found it. So they stick it in the ground and attach a note to it saying Pooh found the North Pole

I come from a generation when books were your best friend and could take you around the world and to different times and places, even fantastical ones. When my 5 year old Grandson first opened this Cristams present, right after opening his "Game boy" his first question was, "What does it do Grandpa?" His parents have consistantly gone to the electronic toy since he was very little. My response was, "It will take you to all sorts of places with the friends of a small boy named Christopher Robin." And then I began to read to him. Soon the game boy was put away in it's protective case and we were hanging in the air with Pooh, semi-disguised as a little black rain cloud...and just as the bees were getting suspicious it was breakfast time... Now whenever we visit, I'm asked to read the next story in the book.It's a beautifully illustrated book and the language is slightly "Anglicized" in the sense that the sentence structure is just a bit different that "American English." For me it adds to the unique quality of the book where a small boy can have a stuffed toy that talks and hankers after honey. Each story is not overly long, perhaps about 20 - 30 pages and can be read in 1 or 2 sittings which creates a wonderful anticipation for my grandson. His imagination soars ahead trying to figure out how Pooh will manage to get the honey he so desperately wants...I would recommend this book to anyone who has a child (age 4 and up)...especially a child hooked on technology.
