I can't state enough how incredibly boring these books are. I got them for my son's first birthday, and while he enjoyed the little carrying case they came in- the books wouldn't even hold his attention. He doesn't like that the book is done in under a minute (even with pointing at the pictures and talking about them.) There are only a few pages to each book with short little verses on each page- no real theme or rhyme scheme to speak of. For a newborn-6 months these would be okay, but anything over that is too old. My son had a much better time with Dr. Seuss and Eric Carle books. At least they were more verbally and visually stimulating. I would even go so far as to say that these books made me not want to buy any other Winnie the Pooh books, products- etc for my son.

This is a lovely set of Winnie The Pooh books perfect for getting your toddler settled and sleepy ready for sleep. Each have a theme relating to bedtime or getting ready for bed. Beautiful illustrations and strong pages so an overenthusiastic toddler can turn the pages without doing any damage to the books. The books can be easily taken out of and put back into the slip case which has a handle - perfect for the toddler to carry around. They'll always have something to read. My daughter loves Winnie the Pooh - she often brings the set on car trips and more often than not we find the who set in bed with her!
Beautiful books to share with your child at bedtime.

The rhyming content of the 4 books is soothing and suitable for bedtime, but that is not the real value of the books. Young children love to carry them around in the box, take them out, read them again and again, and put them back. The rhymes become familiar and pleasing, as are the pooh characters. Good from about 8 months.

My son loves having these books read to him. They are short with cute rhymes and colorful illustrations that keep my son interested in them. I read these books to him a few times a day at least. He loves pointing out the pictures and having me tell him what he sees. We spend alot of quality time together with these books and the look on his face as I read to him is priceless. These books as other reviewers have pointed out do have an age limit. I would say that these books are great for any child 2 1/2 and younger any child older than that might find these boring.

Your little one will want you to read these books over and over. The good thing is they aren't very long and they are really fun.

My toddler is now bored with these books. Illustrations are [taken from] other sources, the books don't seem written by the same author and the text is splotchy. I read them to my 8-month old now, because the length is good for his attention span. But if you want bedtime books for toddlers, I prefer Boynton's "Going to Bed Book" or even "Bedtime for Baby Bop" over these. It's just an excuse to throw the Hundred-Acre Woods' characters together.
