"Although I've watched Winnie the Pooh cartoons when I was younger, I had never actually read any of the stories. This book came free with the iPhone app I downloaded and I'm glad it did. It was fun and worth reading - I'm glad to be able to say that I've actually read Winnie the Pooh now. "

The House at Pooh Corner Listener Reviews

" This is a fantastic book to read to the children in your life. Beautifully illustrated. And so mellow. "
— Elizabeth, 2/18/2014 -
" We actually listened to this on CD... I didn't really care for how it was 'acted out' instead of just read.... I think it lost a bit of its magic but the 4 stars are on the book... the Book on CD I would have just given that 3 stars "
— Kylie, 2/13/2014 -
" If you read all of the Pooh books in your childhood, you'll have fond memories. If they missed you, grab a child and read them. You won't be disappointed! "
— Cary, 2/9/2014 -
" Brilliant, truly. "
— Lillian, 2/2/2014 -
" Everything..... "

" Who doesn't love Winnie the Pooh? "
— Christal, 1/21/2014 -
" I grew up with silly old pooh and his friends and I still read a story from this book every once in a while . Amazing book with stories that bring me back to my childhood . Ah nostalgia "
— Sofie, 1/20/2014 -
" I loved Pooh. not the cartoon series Disney bastardized from him, but the original, gentle, sweet adventures of Christopher Robin and his little animal friends. "
— Crystal, 1/13/2014 -
" There's not much I can say about this classic - it's sweet, adorable, and everything you'd expect from Winnie the Pooh! One star off because I found Tigger kind of annoying, and Eeyore's gloominess could be a bit tiring... "
— Kerri, 11/18/2013 -
" I own this book and always liked it. "
— Lyn, 11/18/2013 -
" I cried so hard at the end!!!!!!!! *sobs hysterically* "
— Denise, 11/9/2013 -
" There is probably more sentimental value to my rating on this book than it deserves. I loved the stories as a child, but as an adult, I tend to find the characters highly annoying. From the whining of Eeyore to the OCD of Rabbit, I have to say I haven't read this to my own children. "
— Diona, 11/6/2013 -
" Beautiful and charming! "
— Clare, 11/6/2013 -
" Your life is pointless if you've never read Pooh books. "
— Sue, 10/30/2013 -
" A terribly intelligent book if you stop and take a decent look. I was going to highlight some of the best quotes, but realized there are far too many. "
— Milo, 9/29/2013 -
" Are you kidding? This is Winnie-the_Pooh! I re-read it a few years ago and realized that I stole my writing style almost whole from it. It is a Really Great Book. "
— Erik, 8/4/2013 -
" I hadn't read this since probably the 3rd grade and I loved it!! Fun, easy read for any age to enjoy. "
— Jen, 4/19/2013 -

— Theresa, 5/30/2012 -
" winnie the pooh, you even top Smokey =) "
— ☞Proud☜, 3/30/2012 -
" Read to Kate (3) and Meg (7). Kate was too young for most of it, but seemed to pay attention more than not. Meg enjoyed it well enough, but neither child clamored for it. ~I~ thought it was clever. "
— Kelly, 2/22/2012 -
" We love Winnie. "
— Ishki, 1/25/2012 -
" The first book I read aloud to my first child. I cried when I finished because Christopher Robin grows up, and because some day my baby would grow up too. "
— Christopher, 1/6/2012 -
" Since I was little bitty, I've loved Pooh Bear. I watched the cartoons constantly, and my favorite character was always the little Piglet. The stories are cute, funny, and at times a little weird, but I liked it a lot. (Did anyone else think Eeeyore was mean?) "
— Corley, 11/4/2011 -
" How did I miss this as a child? "
— Beth/Sr., 9/26/2011 -
" Well, it's Winnie-the-Pooh. What is there not to like? "
— Anna, 7/24/2011 -
" Very imaginative - the stories kinda make an entry to fantasy reading. "
— Jill, 6/28/2011 -
" I don't think I've ever sat down and read the original stories. I was impressed with Milne's insight into the interests of young children. These stories make perfect sense developmentally for 4 to 6 year olds. "
— Sarah, 6/27/2011 -
" perfecvtly charming book for the younger set-- great read aloud "
— Lorie, 6/18/2011 -
" Oh bother, how could I not love Winnie the Pooh?<br/><br/>You're right. I couldn't. There's just no way. "
— Kaycie, 6/16/2011 -
" I can't believe I've never read this before. It's so cute I can hardly stand it! Seriously, me+this book=true love forever! I will definitely read this to my own kids, whenever I get any. "
— Meredith, 6/15/2011 -
" I just read this for the first time to my four year old son. I had no idea the book was so good. I'm not sure how much he liked it, but I think it's great. "
— Keith, 6/11/2011 -
" BEST CHARACTER EVER INVENTED! i adore this character even as an adult. "
— Carolyn, 6/9/2011 -
" My kids loved hearing me read this aloud. A classic that belongs in every home library. "
— Roseanne, 6/7/2011 -
" Who knew stupidity could be so charming? "
— k.wing, 6/6/2011 -
" This idyll, this whole world can not be described by a human being! Funny, thoughtful and almost delightful characters. Neat little adventures to fascinate both adults and children. It contains every aspect of a good book. Go read it, if you havent. "
— Janosch, 6/5/2011 -
" I know this is a kids book, but I have to be honest, it's just fantastic. So much better than whoever took over the story writing from AA Milne and made the writing so incredibly over simple. <br/><br/>Amazing find to find kids writing at such an amazing level.<br/> "

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).
