The Complete Tales and Poems of Winnie-the-Pooh

The animated shorts I saw as a youth capture the good and quirky of these stories. I almost posted 4 stars for I found them mean at times, but I assume that is so a lesson is taught and/or a child is tested. My buddy Eeyore was plain mean! My absolute favorite part are the poems. Since this is such a heavy hardcover, I bought the kindle copies of “When We Were Very Young” and “Now We are Six” to have on my phone for those times of waiting. These poems tickle me pink. People will look at me funny as I smile and laugh reading them, to myself, in public (my lips will move).

The layout and print size of this edition is perfect for these stories.
