Endearing Even (maybe Especially) to Adults October 15, 2009
K. Vestal (NC)
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 October 13, 2009
Shanna A. Gonzalez (Gaithersburg, MD)
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 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.

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.

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.
