What a pleasure these new editions of stories from Winnie the pooh are, Big and bold with the original real illustrations in added colour, they have been very popular with all my class. We had been reading Winnie the Pooh from by old 1940s edition before these came and they were fallen on before I had even sat down! The most mature readers found them great attractions and having only one story per book they were not at all daunting. Less independent readers loved taking them home to be read aloud and to talk about the pictures which gain greatly from being presented in this large format.
Winnie the Pooh is one of the classics of childhood which all children ought to experience and these make him easily accessible, even to the generation brought up on Walt Disney's travesty. Well worth acquiring.
