Winnie-the-Pooh - A.A. Milne

Title: Winnie-the-Pooh
Author: A.A. Milne
Genre: Childrens
Rating: 7/10
# pages: 132
Date read: January, 2008


Summary: The adventures of Christopher Robin and his friends, in which Pooh Bear uses a balloon to get honey, Piglet meets a Heffalump, and Eeyore has a birthday. The main character, Winnie-the-Pooh, is a good-natured, honey-loving bear who lives in the Forest surrounding the Hundred Acre Wood. His companions are Eeyore, a gloomy gray donkey; Piglet, a timid pig; Owl, a pontificating bird; the meddlesome Rabbit; and Kanga, an energetic kangaroo whose inquisitive baby, Roo, lives in her pouch.

Review: The rating isn't entirely fair, because it is meant for children, and I think that if I had read and loved it as a kid, I'd love it still. But while I think this wasn't the very first time I read it (the stories sounded too familiar for that), it never became part of my childhood the way Lurituri, Bimbi and Pippi Longstocking did. My husband loves Winnie-the-Pooh though, so I think it'll probably be different for our kids, and they are cute stories, so fine by me :)
