I buy a lot of books from Amazon and the majority are always cheaper than I can find in the stores HOWEVER this book has a list price of $14.95 and it was at Costco for $9.99.

That being said, my two year old LOVES this book and CD. We've listened to and read it (feels like) a hundred times in the last two months. The stories are intermingled with rhymes all sung by a female voice that clearly enunciates each word. My 8 month old loves when I sing him some of the rhymes at bedtime.

We had such success with this book that I bought "Marsupial Sue" by John Lithgow. The music score is excellent but it is difficult for my toddler to understand the words -- so I am back shopping for the Disney CD Storybooks.

I made an unfortunate selection in purchasing this storybook before a similar review (H. Hudson Aug 14) was posted. Had I waited I could have benefited from that review. Instead I must post a similar review. The most disappointing thing about this storybook is the CD does not let the child know when to turn the page. We also expected to hear familiar voices for Pooh and the gang rather than just a full narration. At this price there are much better selections if you are going to be turning the pages yourself.

I purchased this book after reviewing several other similar books with CDs. This book has 4 stories and 8 poems. My son is almost 3 and keeps saying "Winnie the Pooh bear stories". He absolutely loves it! We were keeping the CD in the car so he could hear it on drives and we would read the book together for story time. But now he wants to hear it all the time! The female voice who narrates is wonderful and has a very soothing voice. I would highly recommend this book. It has quickly become our family favorite!

I bought this for my preschooler and am very disappointed. There are no chimes or similar reminder of when to turn the page. She cannot read it without my continuous presence to turn the page. It would be okay for children who read, though.

For a Read-Along book, they simply missed the point. There is no chime or tone to remind the child when to turn the page and therefore 'read along'. Also, the narrator has one tone and limited voice intonation -- she makes no effort to distinguish between characters. Cheaply edited, not worth the money. See "Disney's Read Along Collection" for a better quality product.

My kids love these Pooh stories (and so do I). They listen over and over. We have all of them on DVD, but I often would rather they listen than watch, so this is perfect. What I really think is great is that it's the original versions. Excellent buy!

The combination between the book and the CD is very nice. My daughter loved them.
