Endearing Even (maybe Especially) to Adults
These endearing characters will never lose their appeal!Pooh, Eeyore, Piglet, Rabbit, Owl, Kanga, and Roo are as comfortable to me now as they were when I was a child!All likeable and kind characters, with personalities as varied as the people we all know.Simple adventures, simple dialogue, but often profound observations.The 180 pages can be read in a couple of hours, and it's worth the walk down memory lane, with or without the children!

More of the Wonderful World of Winnie-the-Pooh
The House at Pooh Corner brings us more of the world of Winnie-the-Pooh (Pooh Original Edition).In this book the author introduces the irrepressible Tigger, whose shenanigans create plenty of energy.The writing quality and character development are just as wonderful in as in Winnie-the-Pooh (Pooh Original Edition) -- this book has none of the sequel's dullness.

The House at Pooh Corner, like the first Pooh book, will appeal best to children are old enough to engage in imaginative play. It's a good read-aloud for the 4-8 crowd, but the 8-12 age group will also enjoy it as a read-alone.

The ideal gift for grandchildren from a doting grandmother
The House at Pooh Corner by A A Milne is a must read for every under school age child.More importantly this is the perfect read for every parent who wants one's child to sleep deeply and enjoy sweet dreams. The characters are defined strongly and the storyline is all adventure. Even the ending is happy and leads on to the next in the series.

Excellent service
Definitely would recommend this book as a classic with alot of insight and hidden messages on the adult level as well.Book was in excellent condition and delivery time was incredible - I had ordered several books from different sellers and this was one of the first to arrive.

The Inferior Sequel is Still Much Better Than Most Books
I'm sorry so say that The House at Pooh Corner isn't quite as good as the Winnie-The-Pooh book that preceeds it.It spends a lot of time on the new character Tigger.Too much if you ask me.Even though Tigger is a darn cute fellow in words and pictures, I thought the first Pooh book to be much more balanced out, and to be honest, I didn't think Tigger to be as funny as the other characters.He's only funnier than Rabbit, and that's not saying much.Rabbit's darn plain when compared to that crafty Brer Rabbit of the Uncle Remus books.

Actually, maybe Tigger isn't the problem.It's just that some of the middle chapters of the book are quite bland.Two, Three, and Five don't stand out very much, and look rather ordinary.However, Eight, Nine, and Ten more than make up for the bland chapters and suddenly this book becomes well worth reading.Eeyore's even funnier in his second appearance than his first, and Milne does such a great job giving personality to even the most inanimate of objects.The man's a darn good writer, let's face it.

And, my goodness, Chapter Ten really gets you thinking.Where is Christopher Robin going?Is entering into the grown-up world really so bad?What will the forest do without him?It's very subtle, but you can tell it's important too.

I think my favorite thing about the Pooh books is the entire universe is pretty much limited to 8 or so different individuals.Pooh wakes up and says, "Let's visit everybody to wish them a Happy Thursday!"He can do that because there are only like 8 people in the whole world.It sure makes things a lot simpler having so few people.

The Pooh books make simplicity beautiful.They seem to be set in a very limited technological environment with a heavy emphasis on nature.Heck, everyone there lives in a tree, for goodness sakes.

Product Description
With their unique blend of fantasy and reality, play and wisdom, these whimsical poems celebrate the magic of childhood. What does Christopher Robin see as he watches the changing of the guard, or think about as he sits halfway down the stairs? Listen carefully for the first appearance of Christopher Robin's beloved teddy bear, Pooh.Amazon.com Review
In all likelihood, your mother or father read you these poems and remember their parents reading the same. This collection of poetry by the creator of Winnie the Pooh was first published in 1924. With its companion volume Now We Are Six, the little books became two of the biggest bestsellers in publishing history. Children all over the world have heard about changing the guard at Buckingham Palace; James James Morrison Morrison Weather by George Dupree; the three little foxes who kept their handkerchiefs in cardboard boxes; and, of course, Christopher Robin, named for A.A. Milne's son. Adults and older children will enjoy Milne's poems too, as some of his humor is subtly directed at a more sophisticated audience. But younger children are the ones who love the naughty Mary Jane (lovely rice pudding again?) and the bears on the corners of London's streets. Read these poems aloud and pass along (or start) a family tradition. (Ages 5 to 9) ... Read more

Gorgeous toddler's book
I was read this book when I was a little girl almost 40 years ago, so I had expectations about what this book would look like - and the book is absolutely perfect - just as I remember it. I am so excited to be able to share this amazing memory of me and my dad reading me this book with my little girl now. Just gorgeous, a book which leaves so much to the imagination and the way the reader emphasises different things, a world away from being told how to interpret things like we are today. Awesome, this is where the love of reading begins.

The Essential When We Were Very Young
Here's the nicest edition of When We Were Very Young since its 1924 publication!With a font reminiscent of the original, and Ernest H. Shepard's gently colored illustrations similarly-placed amid the text, this book is a joy to handle and peruse.Of course, this volume lacks the pencil and crayon embellishments that my sisters and I added to our mother's original edition, but the soft and urgent messages - and all the pleasures - have been beautifully preserved for a new generation.It's gratifying to be able to reread and recite and relive these poems that voice the essential concerns of children everywhere.

When we were veryyoung - by A.A. Milne
I bought this book as I hadhad it as a child, and was trying to remember one or two of the verses. I was so pleased to see that you had it available.I enjoyed it every bit as much as an adult, but to do so one would need British ascestry I would think.I really don't see the modern generation even understanding it.
So thank you for having it in stock

Childhood favorites
I have always loved these poems and wanted to share them with the youngest generation. They are supposed to be for children, but they can linger in the mind sometimes for sixty years.

The innonenceand sweetness of childhood
It is time for parents to turn off the tv, the game-box and to read the peoms of A A Milne to their children. They have delighted me and my family for years. Our most recent purchase was as a gift to a friend. Milne's insights into the world of children are breathtaking, and encourage us to recognise that children need space for themselves, for quiet reflection and for the time to read. The world of Milne and Pooh is as far away from crass commercialism, the noisy world orf exploitation as we are from the nearest stars. Make the clarion call for a return of childhood.

Product Description
This second collection of poetry from Milne strikes another enchanting chord. There are verses about King John and the King of Peru alongside more down-to-earth fare about playing with toy trains and walking in the morning. In verses about fanciful subjects and everyday events alike, A.A. Milne evokes the simple wonder and timelessness of childhood. ... Read more

Best of Milne
Getting to play great-uncle, I can stock my niece's shelves with the right books. I grew up with and nearly wore out Now We Are Six. It's great from several aspects.

Most obviously, this is the same style and size I had, without any artificial graphics or other changes. The simple illustrations and words are plenty.

It is appropriate for parents (and uncles) to read to much younger kids as well. It's alternately amusing and touching poems tell stories, have an occasional object lesson, use real words the child will find useful later and is not sing-song as so many are. That last is key because reading the same book 143 times can be terrifically annoying or boring otherwise.

Certainly don't wait until a child is six to read this to and with him or her.

Worth Buying Twice
The other reviews say plenty about the content...which is great.There are some great insights and reminders about childhood in here that have helped me see things from my childrens' perspective much more frequently.I have a paperback copy with the original EH Shephard illustrations...and it is literally falling apart.My four year old was very eager to buy a new one and made sure that I understood that she wanted the same pictures in it.We read poems out of this book several times a week...take it in the car with us and my daughters remind me to read them a poem while we wait in the car for any reason.They ask for poems at lunch time.We finish one, they always ask for another one.I'm glad I found it.I wouldn't have sought it out on my own...it was at a library book sale and since I know my girls like Pooh, I thought I'd get it...Pooh was ruined for me by Disney until I read this book...and now I'm looking for the real Pooh books.I will buy them all hardback and probably new so that they will last a long, long time.This is a book worth having, and keeping.

Tremendously dissatisfied!
What a horrible experience with this seller.The book arrived twenty-four days after it was ordered, wrapped in a manilla envelope with no padding/protection, and damaged.I alerted the seller of my displeasure and was informed I would receive a refund.To date, it has been sixteen days and no refund has been received.My recommendation:Buy the book - it's well worth it - from another seller!

My grandson loved this!
I sent this to my grandson for his sixth birthday. He was very pleased and his pleasure began with the title! I was reminded of the gift of the same book that was given to me when I turned 6 nearly 6 decades ago. The more things change the more things stay the same, I guess.

Wonderful Tribute
This edition of a timeless classic is wonderful. All illustrations are in full color. I had never seen a version in color and I do not know if they are original but they do look very nice. The dust jacket is cleverly die cut and laminated on the inside for durability. All the magic is still there, presented beautifully. ... Read more

Book review
I received the book in excellent condition. No complaints.My only issue was ( and this was MY fault) I would have preferred more detailed, colorful illustrations with the book, again, I got exactly what I asked for.

Bear Memories
I loved re-reading about the adventures of silly old Pooh and his friends. The chapters are short and perfect for reading to a grandchild at bedtime!

E-books shouldn't cost more than Hardcover
Don't get me wrong, the REAL book is awesome... a classic i loved from my childhood, but an e-Book should NEVER cost more than the hardcover book.I was really dissapointed when I saw the price.Guess I will have to wait a few more years until the price is reasonable.

You have to be kidding!! More for an EBOOK than a paper book?
This book is excellant, I have the hard cover! Why does the publisher think they should charge MORE for an ebook than they do for the paper version?! THAT is insane!

and now my kid's turn...
..to discover the joy in these pages.I love this edition and am so excited to start the family tradition of reading a chapter a night to my girl.This is a great edition as it is affordable and beautifully published. ... Read more
