5.0 out of 5 stars Uplifting Quotes From The Pessimistic Donkey, June 10, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Eeyore's Gloomy Little Instruction Book (Hardcover)
This small book makes an appropriate gift for anybody who appreciates a nice laugh while reflecting on life. Each page takes you through some of the adversity and fortuity that Eeyore encountered in the A.A. Milne books. Cute quote: "When someone says `How-do-you-do,' just say that you didn't." It's remarkable regarding the optimism that comes from our beloved little donkey.

5.0 out of 5 stars You'll Probably Like This Book Unless You Don't, November 27, 2001
By 
Terrie (Little Chute, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Eeyore's Gloomy Little Instruction Book (Hardcover)
Just 5"X6" this charming little book, inspired by A.A. Milne, makes an excellent gift. It has delightful illustrations and lots of sage advice from the beloved dreary donkey. Have a copy on hand for yourself to read on those days when you're feeling a bit sorry for yourself and are on the verge of becoming a whiner. It always makes me laugh at myself and there's nothing like a laugh to lift the gloom...but don't tell Eeyore. If you don't like this book just remember what Eeyore said, "Don't blame me."

5.0 out of 5 stars Quotes, Art, and Eeyore, August 26, 2009
This review is from: Eeyore's Gloomy Little Instruction Book (Hardcover)
A mere 80 pages long and measuring 6 inches by 5 inches, this little bitty book is a delight for Eeyore fans. Sprinkled on just about every page by Ernest H. Shepard's classic line drawings, and brimming with quotes from Milne's books and other little pieces of advice from Eeyore, this small book brings big smiles. The whole cast of characters is depicted in Shepard's drawings, from Rabbit, Kanga and Owl to Tigger, Piglet, and Pooh; but for once Eeyore gets to be the star. In his own inimitable manner, he dispenses advice on birthdays, weather, weight loss, hygiene, accidents, guests, and what to do if you happen to be stuck in a river or lose your tail.
All told, this is a gem of a book, equally for the artwork as for the words. Both combine in a lovely little package that would be a great gift for those in your life who can't get enough of that gloomy grey donkey.
