Hi I am a 11 year old who has read this book during the weekend when I was in boarding school I read for the whole weekend and finished it in two days I just kept on reading and I just couldn't put it down it was wonderfull I could just read it again(which is a suprise because I never in my life do I ever do read a book over again)so I geuss that show's how much I like this book so you must read it really do. so diddly pom to you.

This is the best version of Pooh. Not the contaminated Disney version by any means. This is the pure bear of little brain. This particular version is enhanced by full color paintings by Mr Shephard which will knock your socks off!

I first read Pooh as a child, when my days were spent doing Nothing. It was a good book then, which I really enjoyed.

But I don't do Nothing anymore. Well, not so much. They don't let you. Now my life more often resembles going around and around the tree looking vainly for Woozles, or going bump, bump, bump down the stairs, thinking that there must be a better way, if only I could stop bumping long enough to think of it. Reading Pooh is how I stop bumping.

I need to be reminded that spelling isn't everything - that there are some days when spelling Tuesday simply doesn't count.

Pooh and Piglet are wondering where you've been. Eeyore told them that you're not coming back. "They've forgotten," said Eeyore. "Typical," said Eeyore. "How Like Them," he said.

But you can come back, you know. You can find a Thoughtful Spot, or join an Expotition to find the North Pole, or drop stick off a bridge.

Because the Forest will always be there, and anyone who is Friendly with Bears can find it.

This book is good for kids and adults. It is a great way to escape from the daily depressions in our world news. Unlike other books, it provides a fun, innocent adventure that still has the appeal to people of all ages. After a hard day, this book allows you to forget all bad - there is no evil, there is no wrong. highly recommended!

Hello, I'm StoryMaker. While glancing at the bookshelf, I spotted The World of Pooh - an old, brown copy with no dust jacket - and was inspired to review it.

The World of Pooh is a very good book. It is the original, classic, A. A. Milne Pooh, and a lot of it. Timeless & simple, it is a must for young & old. The red-shirt-free, non-Disney, classic Pooh books by A. A. Milne are old, but to this very day satisfy young children. That's the magic about it.

Why is the classic Pooh better than the Disney Pooh? Well, there are plenty of reasons.

First of all, the characters are better. They are not exaggerated like Disney's. They are kinder yet still quite funny. They are really more charming and really better. As some would say, they have higher quality.

Second, A. A. Milne's stories are timeless. You'd think a kid wouldn't care, but seriously. They satisfy generation after generation and don't change over time. (And I'm not talking about the change of the cover and binding and amount of wear & tear!) Look at the changes of Disney's Pooh. First classic animation, then puppets, then CGI. As the world changes, so does Disney Pooh. But A. A. Milne's classics are timeless and can be loved age to age. They're Grandpappy approved! XD

The World of Pooh gathers many Pooh classic stories and puts them in one book. I have a young cousin & his parents have introduced him to A. A. Milne's Pooh and aren't sure they will show him Disney. Good for them! These stories are better. If you have a youngster, I recommend you do the same. You can get The World of Pooh for pretty cheap nowadays, so why not? Also check out A. A. Milne's poem books, When We Were Very Young and Now We Are Six. You'll love 'em, too! Signed, StoryMaker. "Gotta trust the kid's review!"

The World of Pooh is better read aloud. Milne's characters are charming and lovable. Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends are alive in this book every time I read it, and Shepard's illustrations are so pleasing. I've read these stories so many times and still each time I can hardly wait to find out what adventures Pooh and his friends will have.

Quite the most wonderful book that you never grow out of and can read over and over again. And if any children appear while you're reading it you can entertain them for hours withour even having to move

This is a well-written book. Winnie the Pooh didn't become who he is because of the current watered-down TV version of him. He was created in a masterful way, and is just so wonderful in this book.

Original Pooh stories are amazing - great for the adult as well as the child. There is a magic and rhythm to them that captivates and endears.

My mom reads out the book to me and I love the 'silly old bear' and his friends and also the heffalumps and woozles. I love hunny just like Pooh bear !

I've loved Winnie the Pooh since I was a kid, in fact, my daughter's nickname is Pooh Bear [though she bears no resemblance to Pooh:)]. She's 4 and still responds to "Pooh"! We have read the kiddie [read: abridged] versions of the Pooh books and I am looking forward to sharing the full-length stories with her when she is slightly older. Not merely kid's books, there is infinite wisdom in the Pooh stories, gems like "Sometimes, if you stand on the bottom rail of a bridge and lean over to watch the river slipping slowly away beneath you, you will suddenly know everything there is to be known" or "If the person you are talking to doesn't appear to be listening, be patient. It may simply be that he has a small piece of fluff in his ear." There are also truly heartwarming insights into the essence of friendship in these stories about Winnie the Pooh and his pals in the Hundred Acre Wood, as when
"Piglet sidled up to Pooh from behind. "Pooh," he whispered.

"Yes, Piglet?"

"Nothing," said Piglet, taking Pooh's paw, "I just wanted to be sure of you."

I am quite sure that these stories will be classics in the annals of children's literature for generations to come!Oh, and this particular edition contains both the Complete Winnie-the-Pooh, and "The House at Pooh Corner" with about 8 full-color illustrations by E.H. Shephard, in addition to the B&W ones.
