Summary: A Great Book for People of All Ages
Comment: When I first picked up this book, I thought that it would be something for little kids. As I started to read it, it captured me into the Hundred Acre Wood.I couldn't wait to see what Pooh would get himself into next, from getting stuck in Rabbit's doorway to inventing a game called "Poohsticks". This book follows very closely with the Disney movie "The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh". While reading the book, I watched parts of the movie and it is amazing how Disney transformed A.A. Milne's work into a masterpiece. The story of Pooh and his pals is heartwarming and exciting. I am very happy with this book, and it is a must have for any family.

Summary: So Happy to Own This
Comment: We had a very old copy of The World of Pooh in the house when I was growing up, long since lost. I was so happy to find this when looking for gifts for an on-the-way niece or nephew. Sure, TV/Disney Pooh is cute, but this is the way Pooh stories are supposed to be told, with the classic illustrations and language. This is a perfect storybook for all ages, young and old, and I hope it is always available in this version. The simple series of stories revolving around a young boy's imagination is something I look forward to reliving over and over again, and it brings back extremely fond childhood memories, first of being read to, then of holding the book in my lap and pouring over it for many, many hours.

Summary: Simple, Sweet A. A. Milne Pooh
Comment: Hello, I'm StoryMaker. While glancing at the bookshelf, I spotted The World of Pooh - an old, brown copy with no dust jacket - and was inspired to review it.
The World of Pooh is a very good book. It is the original, classic, A. A. Milne Pooh, and a lot of it. Timeless & simple, it is a must for young & old. The red-shirt-free, non-Disney, classic Pooh books by A. A. Milne are old, but to this very day satisfy young children. That's the magic about it.
Why is the classic Pooh better than the Disney Pooh? Well, there are plenty of reasons.
First of all, the characters are better. They are not exaggerated like Disney's. They are kinder yet still quite funny. They are really more charming and really better. As some would say, they have higher quality.
Second, A. A. Milne's stories are timeless. You'd think a kid wouldn't care, but seriously. They satisfy generation after generation and don't change over time. (And I'm not talking about the change of the cover and binding and amount of wear & tear!) Look at the changes of Disney's Pooh. First classic animation, then puppets, then CGI. As the world changes, so does Disney Pooh. But A. A. Milne's classics are timeless and can be loved age to age. They're Grandpappy approved! XD
The World of Pooh gathers many Pooh classic stories and puts them in one book. I have a young cousin & his parents have introduced him to A. A. Milne's Pooh and aren't sure they will show him Disney. Good for them! These stories are better. If you have a youngster, I recommend you do the same. You can get The World of Pooh for pretty cheap nowadays, so why not? Also check out A. A. Milne's poem books, When We Were Very Young and Now We Are Six. You'll love 'em, too! Signed, StoryMaker. "Gotta trust the kid's review!"
