Winnie-the-Pooh by A. A. Milne


Title: Winnie-the-Pooh
Author: A. A. Milne
Pages: 145
Finished: June 18, 2018

First Sentence: Here is Edward Bear, coming downstairs now, bump, bump, bump, on the back of his head, behind Christopher Robin.

Summary: Meet Pooh Bear, Piglet, and all our friends in the Hundred Acre Woods (minus Tigger. He shows up in the next book.) Here are all those familiar stories... to catch a heffalump, the little black rain cloud, and so many other fantastic stories.

Thoughts: OMG! Guys! This is charming! I read it back in 2014, and so I read it again and it's... it's lovely. It's so lovely. You all need to go out and read it NOW!

Interestingly enough, in the first book, we don't meet Tigger. It seems like Tigger is such a staple of Winnie-the-Pooh, and yet he's not here. And you don't miss him. At least I didn't. Instead we get to learn more about Rabbit and Piglet. About Heffalumps and Woozels. And Hunny and rain.

And what it's like to just be in a child's brain in the Hundred-Acre-Woods.
