Summary: The only stuffed animal you'll ever need!
Comment: This toy is the only stuffed animal you need. He's soft, fuzzy, and not the everyday type of bear you come across. Take my word for it, when it comes to this bear you're never too old or too young for him, and once you buy him you're going to want the classic Piglet, Eeyore, and Tigger to complete your collection. These toys are not styled after Disney's version of Winnie the Pooh, but of the original illustrations by Earnest Shepard in the classic books. It's good that finally someone thought of sticking to the original and not to Disney's perspective. The only thing I am not happy about is that they didn't make an Owl, rabbit, kanga or roo. Though I hope they'll change their minds. Trust me, you won't regret this purchase one bit!

Summary: Soft and Cuddly
Comment: Disney has rediscovered the beauty of the original Pooh Bear, as I have been seeing a lot of Classic Pooh items in stores and on-line recently. The simplicity of E.H. Shepard's illustrations for the A.A. Milne books speak of a less complicated time, and were books that many of my generation grew up on. This wonderful Pooh has unadorned light tan coloring, with only some silky footpads on his bottom paws, and the appearance of black sewn-on eyes and nose. The effect is achieved by sewing on cloth shaped as the eyes and nose, and also provides safety, as once you remove the tag (which doubles as a gift card) and fastener there is nothing to fall off that is sharp or could harm or choke a child.
The Classic Pooh has an ungainly form with the tummy of a bear that eats too much honey, and a very intelligent face with a high forehead and close set eyes. Pooh was my best friend during my first few years on this strange planet, and now being able to have a Classic Pooh as a plush bear is a joy and nurtures the child within. He is squishable and huggable, machine washable, and made of a 100% polyester fabric that resembles chenille. The tag says "birth and up," and there is no limit to the "up." The older folks will appreciate this Classic Pooh too, as he will hold many memories. Pooh is plain but beautiful, Pooh is wise, and Pooh is love.
