This classic collection of Pooh stories (and poems) is a delight to read for both parents and children. Its simple stories about childhood adventures capture the innocence of the world as seen through the eyes of a child. At the same time, it is a witty commentary on the personality archetypes we encounter among our family and friends: the phlegmatic and practical Pooh Bear, the melancholic and anxious Eyore, the choleric and proud Rabbit, the sanguine yet indefatigable Tigger, and the humble but loyal Piglet. Throughout all their adventures they treat each other with compassion and empathy – the true basis of friendship. Milne is a genius in capturing the whimsical thoughts, fears, and hopes of children while leaving breadcrumbs of wit and humor for the unsuspecting adult.
