There is nothing I can say that does this book justice. It is a work of art. The word play is stupendous. It is funny from start to finish. It is perfect for both adults and kids. Although the lines and the vocabulary are actually better suited to adults, it works exceedingly well for both. By first entertaining and amusing the adults, it pushes them to talk and explain to their kids what may be difficult for them to understand. Kids know when their parents are enjoying themselves and then they have fun too! A totally enjoyable shared reading experience is the result. I listened to this with my husband, with not a child in sight, and we both loved it from start to finish.
We listened to the unabridged and unaltered audiobook version narrated by Peter Dennis. It is the only version authorized by A.A. Milne's son, Christopher Robin. The audiobook is performed with both talent and skill. The intonations for each and every one of the characters are utterly perfect. The background side effects are delightful, as is the music softly played between chapters. You must hear Pooh's songs! The entire production cannot be improved upon.
Tell me. What does it say about me that Eeyore is and always has been my favorite of the nine friends—Christopher Robin, Pooh, Eeyore, Owl, Kanga and Baby Roo, Tiger, Piglet, Rabbit and his friends and relations? I bet even now, after perhaps many years having passed since you last read this, you will still be able to easily recall each one’s personality.
This book gets better every time I read it. Next time you want to read it, don’t read it. Instead, listen to it narrated by Peter Dennis. And do it soon. I guarantee you will not be disappointed!
So you think this simply child's play? It isn’t.
What was it like to be Christopher Robin?I can recommend these three books:
The Enchanted Places
The Path through the Trees
The Hollow On The Hill: The Search For A Personal Philosophy

I just think it is strange that it is always Eeyore that appeals to me most.
Julie and Lisa, do you have a favorite figure?
Julie, I have never listened to it before.
I can recommend these three books :
The Enchanted Places
The Path through the Trees
The Hollow On The Hill: The Search For A Personal Philosophy


I can use a lift...thank you

I have this audio, and I also (from several years ago) have the Stephen Frye version. Will have to compare them.
