Publisher Description

What is the connection between a Bear of Very Little Brain and a Honey Pot? Usually it's the very sticky paw of Winnie the Pooh, as he a takes a break between adventures for 'a little something.'

In these 5 stories, taken from the book The House at Pooh Corner, Pooh and Piglet build a house for Eeyore, Tigger comes to the Forest and has breakfast, Piglet nearly meets the Heffalump again, Pooh invents a new game and Owl moves house. As usual they are accompanied by Kanga, Roo, Rabbit and Owl - to say nothing of Pooh's very clever young human friend, Christopher Robin.

Now with musical introduction, Alan Bennett's delightful readings bring each and every character in the Forest to life.

"I really love, and always have, Winnie the Pooh. Although, there's something odd about re-reading a book from your childhood...I ended up making all the connections that were intended through the stories. Each chapter of this book was a separate little story. They all center around friendship and the daily activities in the forest. There's a lot of lessons to be learned about friendship and love and how you treat others. The last story of the book was kind of sad actually, because Christopher Robin is growing up, he's slowly losing his innocence and he realizes that he will be expected to do more things in the "real" world, so he can't spend as much time with Pooh. That scene between him and Pooh was my favorite, because it was so touching, and they agree that no matter what they're going to be best friends forever. LOVEEE. On a side note, I never realized how mean and nasty Eeyore was in the book. The Eeyore they show in the movies is much more mellow and melancholy...in the book I thought he was just outright mean!"

    " Pooh is most certainly a hero of mine. Love the whole world of Milne. So tender, so kind, so authentic. I read this and Winnie-the-Pooh at least annually because they are so pure and wonderful. "

    " Cute cute cute.. Probably the cutest books I have ever read in my life- Winnie-the-Pooh and this book. The ending kinda made me teary eyed but this line will stay with me always "a little boy and his bear will always be playing". I have decided to make sure that my kids (if I have one) read Pooh stories, even if they don't like to read. This book introduced Tigger, who was not present in the earlier book. I can read it again and again, just to laugh at "WOL" and "Backson" :)) I own a Pooh myself from a long time and now I am gonna love it even more, while thinking of his adventures with Piglet. If you have seen the Disney series, I can assure that the books are funnier and better than the Disney series! "

    " I absolutely love reading these stories to my son. They really get him thinking and asking insightful questions about all their mannerisms, actions, and what not. Every night is the same, "What is that silly old bear up to today?" "

    " I just read this again. I think as an adult, we see the personality of each of the characters as part of us. Some traits i want to claim and some I am not proud of. There is so much bigger going on in these short stories than a child's view point. "

About A. A. Milne

Alan Alexander Milne (1882–1956) was the son of a Scottish schoolmaster. Milne won a scholarship to Westminster School and later read mathematics at Cambridge. His real interest was in lighthearted writing; he edited the undergraduate magazine Granta and at twenty-four he became assistant editor of Punch. After serving as a signals officer in World War I he won additional acclaim as a playwright. His great success, however, came as a writer of children’s literature after publishing a series of verses about his young son Christopher Robin (When We Were Very Young and Now We Are Six). Following the acclaim received for the Winnie-the-Pooh books, Milne published several novels as well as an autobiography, It’s Too Late Now (1939).
