Winnie-the-Pooh: A Pop-up Book

4.5 stars — This book feels like a warm hug. A soothing book to read on a rainy day with a cup of tea.

When I was younger, I had a Winnie-the-Pooh bear and used to bring him everywhere with me. To school, to the park, to my Grandparents house. I loved the films too, and yet, despite being an avid bookworm. I had never actually read the books.

So now as an adult, I was browsing through the Gutenberg shelves and decided now was the time to read them. Perhaps a little late, but I'm glad I did. It's a lovely Children's book, with an adorable bear, a host of wonderful of characters and nice hand-drawn illustrations to match.

I'm sure Winnie-the-Pooh will be remain a classic children's story for many years to come. And I'll always be a little jealous of Christopher Robin. You see, I want to live in the Hundred Ache Wood with a cute bear who likes honey. Is that too much to ask?
