      Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends from the Hundred Acre Wood are up to romping around again and Tigger is introduced to the gang.I absolutely loved the first book in this series, but this one lost all its charm. The humor and adorable interactions were missing and the narrated voices were ridiculous. I was very disappointed this time around. (2/5)Originally posted on: "Thoughts of Joy..."
    • 4/5
      This childhood favourite still has appeal nearly 50 (ugh!) years later.
    • 4/5
      It doesn't have any of the stone classics like "Pooh gets stuck in Rabbit's hole" but it does have Tigger and that goes a long long way.
    • 5/5
      The audio version including Judi Dench and others is fun to listen to in the car! Highly recommended.
    • 3/5
      The stories in this collection are not as fun as the ones in Winnie the Pooh. They seem to ramble me and have less of a point. This book felt more like an indulgence. I thought the Tigger stories would also be more funny, but maybe my impression of this character has been influenced by the Disney version.

      I felt this has become dated in its writing style.
    • 5/5
      Wow. So charming. I was coming to these stories fresh, never having read the stories as a child. Sharing them with my son was amazing. The writing is clever without being precious. Plenty going on in the writing to entertain both children and adults. Marvelous.
    • 4/5
      Although occasionally challenging, there are useful drawings to keep your comprehension of events on track.
      At least, that's how I remember it.
    • 3/5
      The sequel to Winnie the Pooh, similar, but with a bittersweet note of Christopher Robin growing up and leaving his toys behind.The story where Pooh and Piglet decide Eeyore needs a house, and so build him a house by dismantelling the house he's already built for himself and rebuilding it somewhere different is a little wry. And the way Piglet does the Nobel Thing of giving Owl his own house because Owl needs one, so he can move in with Pooh and live happilly ever after...
    • 5/5
      Surprisingly better than the original for me! I adored it so much. I can't wait to read the third book in the series. I'm so bummed out I never got to read these as a kid. Oh well. Make up for it now! Of course I recommend this series, and of course I'm rating 5 out of 5 stars.
    • 5/5
      A lovely book.A quote about creativity and poetry and literary critics: "And that's the whole poem," he said. "Do you like it, Piglet?" "All except the shillings," said Piglet. "I don't think they ought to be there." "They wanted to come in after the pounds," explained Pooh, "so I let them. It is the best way to write poetry, letting things come." "Oh, I didn't know," said Piglet.

      A.A. Milne returns to the Hundred Acre Wood in this follow-up to Winnie the Pooh, offering ten charming episodes in which the animals have many adventures together. The marvelous Tigger is introduced here, moving in with Kanga and Roo, getting stuck in a tree, and being deliberately "lost" by Rabbit, in order to debounce him. Quite a few of the characters - Owl, Eeyore, Rabbit - lose their homes, and gain new ones. The book concludes with the melancholy fact that Christopher Robin is going away...I honestly have no idea if I read the Winnie the Pooh books as a child. I'm familiar with many of the stories, but I have no clear memory of ever having picked up the books. Perhaps they were read to me, at bedtime? I know that I never saw the Disney film, but I do recall an LP we had growing up, that contained some of the Winnie the Pooh songs from the film. The one about Tigger was my favorite, of course. However that may be, and whenever I was first exposed to Milne's stories, my first actual memory of reading one of them was a few years back, when The House at Pooh Corner was assigned as a text in the course on the history of children's literature I took, while getting my masters. It felt very familiar to me, in a vague sort of way, and was utterly charming. I meant, at that time, to read the other books as well, but time was short, and I didn't end up doing so. In any case, I found this one immensely appealing, appreciated the gentle but compelling stories, the marvelously realized characters, and the sense of sadness at the close. I definitely need to read the entire collection - the two prose volumes (Winnie the Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner) and the two poetry collections When We Were Very Young and Now We Are Six - at some point.
    • 5/5
      Even better stories and a wonderfully poignant ending.
    • 5/5
      The House At Pooh Corner is brilliant early chapter book for children. The story is really just about events that occur in the one hundred acre wood. These events are usually fairly simple and to some people, it would be boring. BUT, what is so fascinating is how these events unfold and how they are dealt with; Pooh bear is usually involved in whatever event is happening and ends up being the day saver, or "hero". Now Pooh doesn't try to be the hero or the one to save the day all the time, he just IS, because he takes things as they are. He let's what's happening happen, and doesn't get frustrated over things he cannot control or change. He knows what he knows and knows what to do with what he knows. This book would be great in the classroom to teach children about friendship, how to deal with certain situations and how to live with life, rather than resisting it. I would highly recommend this book to not only children but to anyone who loves the simple harmony that plays out in these pages.
    • 5/5
      Quite simply, it's one of the best stories ever told. It had me laughing and smiling, and then just about crying at the very end.I cannot begin to say how much I love Winnie-The-Pooh and all of his friends.
    • 4/5
      The end is very realistic, as well as touching. I'm glad I've read this book as a child. It brings back nothing but good memories. I believe this is the first book I've ever read from the beginning to the last page.
    • 5/5
      Utterly charming and sweet (in a good way). I don't remember having this read to me as a child, but I suppose it must because the characters remain beloved. We listened to the audio version on a car trip, and it was extremely well done, with all the different characters played by well-known British actors. The voices were right on, and the performances were frequently funny. My favorite, of course, is always Eeyore, who was surely the prototype for Marvin the Paranoid Android.

      I absolutely love reading these stories to my son. They really get him thinking and asking insightful questions about all their mannerisms, actions, and what not. Every night is the same, "What is that silly old bear up to today?"

      This is a sad end to the Pooh adventures. Full of traditional English etiquette and cordial behavior with all its absurdity, I loved it and was sad to see it end. Wonderful book. This is the book from which we get Tigger, and where would the world be without Tigger? It's a classic and it completely deserves that status.
    • 5/5
      SiImple, straight-forward stories for all ages. Gets quite melancholy towards the end, but a wonderful book.
    • 5/5
      I do love doing a class in Children's Lit. It just feels like an excuse to spend a Thursday afternoon and evening indulging in nostalgia, and calling it work.

      I think I prefer The House at Pooh Corner to the first book, somehow -- but the end makes me sad. Christopher Robin should never leave Pooh (I will never leave Helen or Edwin or all the rest).

      My favourite thing is definitely still the rhymes.

      I do have Academic Things to say about these books, I swear, only it feels rather silly to do so on the Internets.
    • 4/5
      This is a classic children's book. Although not very interesting for adults, this book contains self-contained stories about Pooh and his friends.

      If Winnie-the-Pooh is about childhood, The House at Pooh Corner is about growing up, but told in a way such the reader need not realize it at the time. It gracefully marks a particular milestone to the Pooh tales that may bring a tear to any parent’s eye, but will still bring laughter and joy to the child.For those who know Pooh mostly from his Disney exploits, it may be of interest to note that Pooh Corner marks the first appearance of Tigger. However, by the end of the book, he has made himself part of the fabric that makes up the Hundred Acre Wood as much as mainstays like Pooh and Piglet.Reading this book to a child (albeit, a very young one) gave me a completely new perspective as when I read it previously, as not a father. Prior to having children, time was something I had in abundance. I could wait a week to do activity x or read book y or see movie z. Now, all of a sudden, I have hit a slippery slope. I come home from work every day and see an older child sitting where my younger child once lay. She is bigger, smarter, and a whole lot more aware of her surroundings with each passing day.I believe that Milne saw this as well as he wrote Pooh Corner. Christopher Robin no longer drags Pooh up the stairs by his heel, but rather, now does “Nothing” with him, the last bit of Nothing he can do for a while, and so he savors it before his next temporary abduction by the Backson.As a working adult, I have fond memories or things like summer vacation and recess, and wish that these factors were part of adult life. However, I know, and Milne knew, and Christopher Robin begins to learn, that the adult world is less fun and more serious. But it doesn’t mean that it’s any less enjoyable, especially when we can occasionally sit with the heroes and friends of our childhood and just do Nothing too.
    • 5/5
      A delight, for all ages.
    • 5/5
      A classic tale lightly illustrated and intricately written. Told uniquely from a 3rd person's view of Pooh bear's mind himself, this story takes us through pooh corner as we meet new friends and familiar ones such as Piglet, Eyore, Christopher Robin, Rabbit, and more. This story is written in a format which is easy for children to follow yet with enough detail to swallow its reader right into the plot.
    • 5/5
      This is the book where Tigger is introduced. I didn’t read these as a kid, but I read some of them as an adult after reading The Tao of Pooh. However, that was 20 years ago. I had forgotten how British these books are, with every chapter entitled “In Which…” and the “Hallos” and “Bother!” This is so much better than what Disney did to it. Ernest Shepard’s simple drawings bring more to the story than bright colors leaping off the page. It’s rare to read a good book where you actually like all the characters.
    • 4/5
      This is the second book in the collection. Once again we meet Christopher Robin, Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore, Rabbit, Owl, Kanga and Roo, but we are thankfully introduced to the hilarious and ever so bouncy, Tigger. A delightful story about friendship with a bittersweet ending- as Christopher Robin gets older, he just doesn't have as much time to play with his old friends. I wasn't read these books when I was a child, but my friends who got to experience them still love them and are thankful to have had them in their lives.
    • 3/5
      This book is fun, about how the pooh, piglet and tiger be friend with the boy and all the fun they can creative that live a long in the forest.
    • 4/5
      Lovable characters, these Hundred Acre Wooders. They're such charicatures, and so different from one another. The stories are varied enough to keep everybody busy. They also show that a simple idea is enough for a lot of funny events.I like the simple steps of thought made explicit in the dialogue and narrative.
