I've been wanting to read this for a long time now since I love Disney's version of the silly old bear. Barnes and Noble tricked me because when I walked in, they had a beautiful display of the collector's editions for this book and Return to the Hundred Acre Wood right in front of my face and they were an extra 20% off. I figured I'd never find the deal again and bought them both, not realizing RttHAW wasn't even an original written by Milne. GRR! Anyways, enough about that. I have to say that I didn't really like this book. I wanted to, but it was too boring for me. I understand that people love it so much because of its purity and simplicity, but I just wasn't appreciating it. It was slow and nothing exciting happened. It was kind of like listening to a book on tape that's read in monotone, without any expression. No fun! However, I did love the colored illustrations. They were beautiful and in my opinion, the only reason one should buy this book. From now on when I get a craving for Winnie-the-Pooh, I'm simply going to pop in Disney's The Many Adventures of Winnie-the-Pooh. Shame on me, I know.
