A really sweet book ( )

This childhood favourite still has appeal nearly 50 (ugh!) years later. ( )

I know I'm a bit too old for this, but I remember these stories as a child. I liked the stories in the beginning but then they just got too silly for me. I mean, poor baby Roo that was kidnapped. Pooh bear I do enjoy, but sometimes his dumbness really annoys me. Now Eeyore is my favorite, as my dad always said "they should just give the poor thing a tail to keep and a nice house" ( )

Summer 2018, audiobooks:

I love this book. I really do. I grew up on the love of my mother for these original books, and every derivation from there (as well as the same of Charlie Brown). But. This was the worst narrator I've experienced in the whole of the something like over 100 I've listened to in the last 3-4 years. It was so horrid I was cringing most of the way through this. Definitely after ever line from piglet. ( )

This is the best thing ever. Everyone needs to drop what they're doing and listen to this immediately. I took a break from a longer audiobook so I could listen to this on a road trip today. With the performers listed on the cover, particularly Stephen Fry and Judi Dench, I figured it would be sweet and entertaining. I didn't predict I would be smiling and laughing out loud for two hours. My mom says they read the Winnie the Pooh books out loud to us when we were young, but I can barely remember, certainly not the fact that the stories are hilariously funny. And every single performer on this audio was perfect.
Please, please, please, if you've got a drive coming up, take this delightful book along.
