What a pleasure to have well written poetry that appeals to my 2 year old daughter! This book is a current favorite of hers, and we read it to her every night. The classic poems by AA Milne are as appealing to me as they are to her, and the illustrations by Ernest H Shepard make me look forward to my daughter growing up with all of AA Milne's books.

One disappointment - nowhere in the book does it point out (for the parent reading them over and over) that the poems contained in the book are often parts of larger poems written by A.A. Milne. You'll need to find a different book if you want the full poems of "Us Two", "Vespers", and "Nursery Chairs" for example.

Otherwise, a great book to add to your child's collection!

I purchased both My First Winnie-The-Poor and Bedtime with Winnie-The-Poor for my 2 year old granddaughter who is beginning to look at Pooh stuffed animals,etc. These are board books, designed for the very young, but these two books are simply scattered exerpts from the full length book or "Now We Are Six." Some can stand alone, but others simply start with a paragraph from Pooh and end a few paragraphs later with no "ending" understandable for a 2-3 year old. A child fully able to appreciate the exerpts would be better off having the REAL Pooh read to him or her by an adult.

I loved this little book, but then I love A. A. Milne. The book was colorful and the verses were, of course, delightful, especially the one about the train. I'd never seen a board book before. This one is well made and should withstand a lot of handling. I purchased this particular book to accompany the quilt I made for my new grand-nephew. It had the Winnie the Pooh fabric backed with flannel and quilted with hearts and bears. I know the book and the quilt will be enjoyed by my grand-nephew and the family. The book is what makes the quilt special.

I do like that it is a board book and therefore child safe for my 2 1/2 year old, she loves to look at the illustrations, as they are on every page and very well done. BUT as previously stated by others, this book is essentially exerts from all the other Pooh books. These exerts are cute but there are some that end rather abruptly leaving one hanging. Even though my daughter knows all the Pooh stories by heart she was rather bemused on a few of the pages when they ended without resolution.

I was disappointed in this book. It seemed to be more of a show piece that sits of a shelf and looks pretty then a book that would capture the attention of a little one. my kids were less then impressed with this book and it ended up in a donate pile :(

Got for daughter's baby shower since she wanted Pooh nursery. She loved it. Now her son who is 2 does too.

I am starting a collection of the much loved children's book's for my grandson, & was happy to add this pooh book

My thirty year old grandson got me this book and I LOVED IT!!!!! My wife read it to me out loud and I enjoyed it very much. It did take us a year of steady reading but it was worth it. To all those 87 year olds out there, get this book!!!
