Book Reviews of Winnie the Pooh
Book Review: Lovely book
Summary: 5 Stars
Love this book - my baby's nursery is all winnie the pooh and this looks great on the bookshelf. Will start reading it to him when he is more interested in stories
Great book!
Book Review: Pooh is wonderful, but the book ... could be better.
Summary: 4 Stars
I rate "Winnie the Pooh 80th Anniversary Edition" as deserving no more than 4 stars. Pooh is wonderful. (As he always has been.) And the stories are great for little ones. But the actual book could be better. It is not of bad quality, but a little more thought and caring would have made it as wonderful as the stories. Unfortunately, ... the actual book could have been better. Children can be fairly rough with books and this book may not hold up well to rough treatment. A thoughtful parent will want to go to a store or library to have a look for themselves before ordering this book.Book Review: Somewhat Disappointing
Summary: 3 Stars
First of all, as pretty as the die-cut dust jacket is, it's prone to tearing. And if you have young children this is likely to be an issue, which sort of spoils the whole collector's/heirloom edition thing. Second, although I would ordinarily like the cream colored pages and colored illustrations, I don't like how they did it for this edition. Starting in the early '90s Dutton published full-color editions of all four of Milne's books (Winnie-the-Pooh, The House At Pooh Corner, When We Were Very Young, and Now We Are Six) on white paper, and the illustrations blended perfectly with the pages. Unfortunately, for this 80th anniversary edition the publisher seems to have simply reused the color pictures from the 1991 edition, complete with the white backgrounds for each illustration. The effect of this against the cream colored pages of this new book looks a bit sloppy to me, as if someone had cut out the pictures from the 1991 edition and pasted them onto the pages of this new one. The older color editions of Milne's books are still available through Amazon (search for "Winnie-the-Pooh full-color gift edition"), and in my opinion they're nicer than this new edition.Book Review: The book that started it all
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the book that started the Pooh empire. Seeing the characters as they were originally created was great, and the stories are amazing. Each chapter is a stand alone story that introduces the reader to new characters and adventures. We learn how Pooh got his name(s) and why he lives under the name 'Mr. Sanders' in the forest. The style of writing and the illustrations are great for any age and reading stories about their favorite stuffed animals is great for kids.Book Review: To Be Enjoyed At ANY Age!
Summary: 5 Stars
Whether you're 3 Or 83, this is a great read!
Yes, what's really cool about this book is that Baby Boomers can still enjoy this! It's a fun read, a book which leaves you with a smile on your face and warmth in your heart. Sound corny? Maybe, but it's the truth, especially if you remember loving this book as a child. You can never outgrow this book!!
These are unique stories, told in a way different from any other - that has never changed. "Timeless," I guess, is the word used most often to describe literature like this. The great illustrations don't hurt, either.
If you're looking for a trip "down memory lane," or you're just tired of all the blood-and-guts movies, TV shows and books of today, grab this classic and you instantly be in a great mood!
