Happy 90th birthday, to one of the world's most beloved icons of children's literature, Winnie-the-Pooh!
 
Since 1926, Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends—Piglet, Owl, Tigger, and the ever doleful Eeyore—have endured as the unforgettable creations of A.A. Milne, who wrote this book for his son, Christopher Robin, and Ernest H. Shepard, who lovingly gave Pooh and his companions shape. 

These characters and their stories are timeless treasures of childhood that continue to speak to all of us with the kind of freshness and heart that distinguishes true storytelling.

About the Author

Ernest H. Shepard was born in 1879 in London. His father was an architect and his mother whodied when he was ten years old was the daughter of a notable watercolorist. It was she who firstencouraged young Ernest to paint and draw. Art became Ernest's passion, and after attendingHeatherly's Art School and the Royal Acadamy Schools, Shepard supported himself by drawingfor the illustrated papers and by illustrating books.

In 1903, Shepard married Florence Chaplin. Florence was a mural painter and fellow student atthe Academy. The Shepards had two children: Graham, who was killed in World War II, andMary, who later illustrated Mary L. Travers Mary Poppins books.

When World War I broke out, Shepard served in France, Belgium, and Italy, attaining the rank ofMajor. On his return to England, he continued with his art. He became a regular contributor toPunch, the classic British humor magazine, where he met A. A. Milne, a man who was to beinstrumental to his career. Shepard was elected to the editorial board of Punch, and shortlythereafter, he agreed to do the illustrations for Milne's first book of verse, When We Were VeryYoung.

The illustrations that Shepard created for all four of the Pooh books received worldwide acclaim.For the next thirty years, he continued to illustrate books for both adults and children. In 1973,for the first time, he added color to his drawings for Winnie-the-Pooh. Shepard ultimately donatedseveral hundred drawings to the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
Ernest H. Shepard continued to pursue his love of drawing until his death in1976.copyright ? 2000 by Penguin Putnam Books for Young Readers. All rights reserved.

This review is for A.A. Milne Winnie The Pooh (specifically book 1 AmazonClassics Edition available on K. U.) Although I own many hardback and paperback versions

I adore The Winne the Pooh series. My first set was the paperback edition with water color like illustrations before surgery when I was four with my own Pooh, Eeyore, and Tigger. It helped my wait and recovery time. They accompanied me through many other surgeries. So this why these stories mean comfort to me even today.

I had not read a Pooh Story on kindle yet so when it was recommended it was downloaded immediately.

This version has black and white sketch illustrations similar to my scholastic book paperbacks (similar to the cover) for those who want to know the kind of artwork inside. This book does have auditable but I never use this feature. I prefer to do my own reading.

To me the stories are all sweet tales of good friendships that are heartwarming for all ages. Would highly recommend to others.

5.0 out of 5 stars A flight of pure fantasy and unparalleled chicanery.
Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2024

An overview, or synopsis of the book:
A bear is always looking for honey. He gets into some kind of a jam at a friend's house.
Later, he and another friend follow some tracks in the mud to see where they should lead. You begin to perceive the series of mini adventures to follow, including a tell-tale tall tale of a tail in the making, guiding them farther along the trail, taking them deeper into the forest. Thus, they must avoid any and all obstacles, snares, and traps that they may encounter on their fascinating journey. They proceed slowly with an abundance of caution and react accordingly, if not entirely unpredictably.
Further along the path, they find a new friend, who is feeling a bit down and out. He has a case of the doldrums for some reason. Nevertheless, everyone in the group tries their level best to cheer him up. They should all learn to get along well together, you reflect. Fortunately, they begin to play nicely in the sandbox. Only then can they continue to explore the matter before them, ultimately seeking to achieve their immediate main objective, that the more enlightened ones among us view as being a major goal in life.
Because of unforeseen circumstances, they are forced to band together once again; only this time, to form a search and rescue party.
Finally, they all go outside on the lawn and celebrate the wild flight of pure fantasy and unparalleled chicanery that they have just recently experienced. It's a party to which we are all invited and are sure to enjoy, or a reasonable facsimile thereof.
You know you've entered into the enchanted forest when it rains in buckets, and the sweet, bubbling, babbling brook suddenly roars to life like the mighty, mighty, M-I-S-S-I-S-S-I-P-P-I! Dare I say it out loud, or spell each letter individually, whisperingly, softly harmonizing, and picking a lively tune on an old acoustic guitar, similar to the folk melody from the 1950 Red Foley song bearing the same name as the river.
"Which are the creatures of the forest?" you inquire.
"The bear, a furry rabbit, a tiny pig, a donkey, an owl, a little boy, a kangaroo and its offspring."
"Winnie the Pooh" is the bear's name, the same as the title of the delightful children's book, written by Alan A. Milne, which was originally published in 1926, and illustrated by Ernest H. Shepard. The boy and the bear become inseparable companions, at least in my mind. They are as well-suited for each other as the author's prose and the illustrator's drawings.
Imagine what they could have accomplished, had the author and illustrator been born a hundred years later, with unlimited access to high-speed computers, the internet, 3D goggles, an IMAX theater, and a full orchestra ensemble!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Second Chance At Innocence?
Reviewed in the United States on February 8, 2013
Verified Purchase
This book is an absolute delight. Obviously written for the kids, reading Winnie The Pooh as a fully grown adult brought back so many memories and feelings of complete and utter joy that it was like you had relapsed completely back into childhood.

Some stories were silly, some were brilliant but the star of the show was of course the best bear in the world, the most lovable, huggable, adorable, sweetest, most innocent bear ever brought into existence. It all came to a head for me when Pooh came up with the idea to save Piglet from a horribly wet encounter in the driving rain and so I defy any good hearted soul to read this story and not get emotional.

At one point the stories bordered on comic farce - in a good way, of course - and all but one of the characters are an absolute joy. Of course, we don't dislike Eeyore - but you kind of have to feel sorry for the silly donkey. But maybe that is the donkey's plot in life - to exist in a state of permanent dismay. Having never been a donkey myself, I can't say. But what I can say is that WINNIE THE POOH, Christopher Robin and the entire population of the HUNDRED ACRE WOOD is a landmark of western literature and should be placed alongside the great works of Tolkien, Asimov , George RR Martin and even Jordan, and so thanks must go to the brilliant A A Milne for having the intellectual foresight of creation, and also thanks be to Amazon for making such an awesome reading experience available at such a low price.

An excellent little read from a bygone, golden age of childhood. This should be read to preschoolers by their parents (or legal guardians).
I couldn't find any faults with it, and in some ways, reminded me of the simplicity of some of my early existence.
It would be good for modern youngsters to be entertained by such stories, before their attention is hijacked by computer games and mobile phones 📵 😉❤👍💯%!
