"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. "

    " 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 "

    " 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... "

    " 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. "

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).
