One morning, Pooh and Piglet were walking through the Hundred Acre Wood, when they spied a strange Creature lying on the ground. As they got closer, they could see that it looked a bit like a very large Boy. But what was most remarkable was that someone had tied it down with hundreds of tiny ropes. It could hardly move a finger, and there was even something tied over its mouth. There is so much more I could write about these books, but it doesn’t feel that I am really conveying quite how wonderful these stories are, I am not doing them justice – what A.A. Milne along with E.H. Shepard have given us is something very special. Both of these collections are classics in every sense of the word.

W 2011 roku do kin weszła kolejna produkcja o Kubusiu Puchatku wytwórni Walt Disney Animation Studios pt. Kubuś i przyjaciele, zrealizowana na podstawie wszystkich wydanych do tej pory książek o Puchatku, również na podstawie Powrotu do Stumilowego Lasu autorstwa Davida Benedictusa z 2009 roku [8]. After the war, he wrote a denunciation of war titled Peace with Honour (1934), which he retracted somewhat with 1940's War with Honour. During World War II, Milne was one of the most prominent critics of English writer P. G. Wodehouse, who was captured at his country home in France by the Nazis and imprisoned for a year. Wodehouse made radio broadcasts about his internment, which were broadcast from Berlin. Although the light-hearted broadcasts made fun of the Germans, Milne accused Wodehouse of committing an act of near treason by cooperating with his country's enemy. Wodehouse got some revenge on his former friend by creating fatuous parodies of the Christopher Robin poems in some of his later stories, and claiming that Milne "was probably jealous of all other writers.... But I loved his stuff." He cleared his throat, and was just about to start Humming, when who should turn up but Christopher Robin and Rabbit. That's right. One week to be thin. I'm lovin' it. I have actually met the real Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends. No, for real. When I was stopping by The New York Public Library, they were on display in the children's section. You see Christopher Robin was a real boy, and he had these stuffed animals. A.A. Milne is Christopher Robin's father. Now if only I can get my father to write a best-selling immortal book about me.....

I found myself throughout, after each little adventure, stopping to say "but where's Tigger? Maybe he turns up in the next adventure." But he never did! We shall have to read more stories and see when he arrives... Wiersze dla Krzysia ( When We Were Very Young, Now We Are Six; pierwsze wydania w 1924 i 1927, w Polsce 1957; później wydane osobno jako „ Kiedy byliśmy bardzo młodzi” i „ Mamy już sześć lat”) To learn more about the real Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends: https://www.nypl.org/about/locations/... I'm not sure," said Christopher Robin, "that Owl's broadband connection is working after the recent Blustery Day."

Well," said Rabbit modestly, "it's possible that my friends and relations had something to do with it. They were rather tired of certain comments they had seen on Goodreads. But I think we could remove that gag at least." At the heart of A.A. Milne’s wonderful collections: ‘Winnie-the-Pooh’ and ‘The House at Pooh Corner’ – is of course Pooh, who is such a wonderfully created character – a ‘bear of very little brain’, but a bear who is undeniably wise, funny, loyal, paradoxically clever, who does many brave and wonderful things; a bear who makes mistakes and gets things wrong, but is always forgiven; a bear who is both selfish and greedy (see Honey) and yet kind and thoughtful; a bear who above all else (and clichéd though it may be) lovable. I was going to put some ribbon around them and sell them as a set, but I got lost in reading The King's Breakfast (and loving Shepard's illustrations) aloud. I don't really want to sell the book now. I want to have kiddies come into the shop and on the pretext of perhaps making a sale from the parents reading the poems aloud. Most of the parents won't be impressed though, they prefer the Disney version ;-( And the kids - they are more into Peppa Pig and Doc McStuffins these days. My baby son is six months old and as part of his bedtime routine we're reading him stories. I was pleasantly surprised to discover a new love for reading aloud - doing the voices, the dramatic intonation, etc. We need to Do Something," said Rabbit, paying him no attention. "I have made a List of Suggestions." He took out a piece of paper.Needless to say I'd highly recommend this book, but just in case it was not clear: I would wholeheartedly recommend this book to every single person in the world, children or grown-ups. There is nothing I can say that does this book justice. It is a work of art. The word play is stupendous. It is funny from start to finish. It is perfect for both adults and kids. Although the lines and the vocabulary are actually better suited to adults, it works exceedingly well for both. By first entertaining and amusing the adults, it pushes them to talk and explain to their kids what may be difficult for them to understand. Kids know when their parents are enjoying themselves and then they have fun too! A totally enjoyable shared reading experience is the result. I listened to this with my husband, with not a child in sight, and we both loved it from start to finish. This book gets better every time I read it. Next time you want to read it, don’t read it. Instead, listen to it narrated by Peter Dennis. And do it soon. I guarantee you will not be disappointed!

So, they went off together. But wherever they go, and whatever happens to them on the way, in that enchanted place on the top of the Forest, a little boy and his Bear will always be playing”

Teaching about the latest events?

If the person you are talking to doesn't appear to be listening, be patient. It may simply be that he has a small piece of fluff in his ear.”

Silly old bear!" he said affectionately. "That's not a Woozle! That's a Hostile Reviewer. Rabbit, I don't suppose you might know how he got here?" Following the resounding success of my Locus Quest, I faced a dilemma: which reading list to follow it up with? Variety is the spice of life, so I’ve decided to diversify and pursue six different lists simultaneously. This book falls into my BEDTIME STORIES list.Like The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe and Harry Potter there is a hidden world (a much better world) on the fringes of our own. Enter a wardrobe, a platform or a tree and you are on the cusp of something grand. It’s pure escapism. However, for all that, the Pooh stories are very simply written. Unlike the two books I just mentioned, I don’t think there’s much beyond the basic humorous moments in this series. I've owned this copy of Winnie The Pooh since I was very young myself - and despite a comfortable familiarity with the characters, Christopher-Robin, Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore, Rabit, Owl, Kanga and Roo... I found that I wasn't familiar with their specific adventures. I found myself wondering if I'd ever actually read the book before? The street is 149 metres (489ft) long, and in some parts it is 23 metres (75ft) wide. It is intended to be a walking path to provide relief from crowds of the Nowy Świat Street. Winnie-the-Pooh (1926) is the first volume of stories about Winnie-the-Pooh, written by A. A. Milne and illustrated by E. H. Shepard.
