Disney's Winnie the Pooh's A to ZZzz [School & Library Binding]

Book Description

Each letter is accompanied by a cheerful rhyme, as Winnie the Pooh, Eeyore, Tigger, and other Hundred-Acre Wood friends charm their way through the alphabet.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Langley's and Wakeman's winning collaboration provides perky art for this alphabet book, which offers solid proof of the timeless appeal of the inimitable Winnie the Pooh. Accompanying each letter of the alphabet is a brief rhyme by Ferguson, who manages to capture the vitality and the idiosyncrasies of the residents of the Hundred-Acre Wood--as well as the nuances of A. A. Milne's superbly subtle humor. Both the illustrations and the verse will elicit chuckles. On a page announcing that " I is for ice skates," a cautious Pooh is shown with a pillow strapped to his backside, next to the words, "Though others give / Him funny glances, / On ice skates Pooh Bear / Takes no chances." In the end, a sleepy Pooh " Z zzzs" out in bed, an activity that little ones will want to put off until this book has been reread at least once. Ages 2-5.

5.0 out of 5 stars Winnie-the Pooh and the alphabet, too!, April 8, 1998

This review is from: Disney's Winnie the Pooh's A to ZZzz (School & Library Binding)

In the Lexington Park Library in southern Maryland , alphabet books and Winnie-the Pooh books are two perennial high demand items from customers three feet and under. I was delighted to find Don Ferguson's Disney's Winnie-the-Pooh's A to Zzzz , which admirably fills both needs in one handy volume. The book jacket states that Ferguson "has been putting words in the mouths of Disney characters since 1976." He does a superb job here supplying words for Winnie-the Pooh, Rabbit, Eeyore, Piglet, Tigger and friends. Each page features a large capital letter of the alphabet, and a four line rhyme that captures the gentle, humorous essence of A.A. Milne's original Winnie-the Pooh characters. The verses are brought to life on each page by the vividly colorful illustrations of Bill Langley and Diana Wakeman. These bright pictures depict Winnie-the Pooh and pals enjoying each other's company in homey activities in the Hundred-Acre Wood, through all seasons of the year. We join in all kinds of fun including a birthday party, a walk through the snowy woods, some kite flying, and, of course, a hunt for honey! So, treat yourself and your toddlers to some alphabet fun. "C is for Carrots, D is for door," with Disney's Winnie-the-Pooh's A to Zzzz, they're sure to want more!

5.0 out of 5 stars The most enjoyable alphabet book ever!, July 15, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Disney's Winnie the Pooh's A to ZZzz (School & Library Binding)

This book is so much fun to read, I'm not sure who enjoys it more, me or my 20 month old daughter. It's a great bedtime book! Not only has my daughter thoroughly enjoyed the content, but she is already able to recognise letters and all the Pooh characters. I highly recommend this book for it's easy, fun reading. The little rhyme associated with each letter of the alphabet is absolutely adorable!!!

Great book, good illustrations and the writing is not bad. There are a couple lines that less than creative, but almost all the short poems are pretty good. I'd recommend it to anyone with an 18 month old!
