I LOVED this book. And it was not till much later that I learned the REAL Winnie-the-Pooh was Canadian, like me. H: Shit, that's their shit isn't it? I can't go explaining every little thing to them, can I? That's the job of the secondary industry around ours, but you have to inspect them separately, that's not got nuffink to do with me. The first book is fantastic, the second follows at a close run. It does not however reach up to the excellence of the first. The third, When We Were Very Young, you can just skip! The first is as good for a young child as for an adult. A parent and child reading it together will both have a wonderful time. The second will be more difficult for a child to fully understand. Here, the humor and wisdom of the lines are directed more to the adult; a deeper meaning is evoked about life-stages and personality types that go beyond the comprehension of a young child.

My Mom, ever the librarian - with a kind, edifying heart - gave me a book about kids in France supporting the Resistance during the War. House at Pooh Corner" is a song written by Kenny Loggins, based on the children's book of the same name. It was first performed by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band on their 1970 album Uncle Charlie & His Dog Teddy. I almost forget to say the last chapter (or last tale) of this volume is definitely my favorite one among all of them (considering both books). In my view, it has one of the most inspiring, emotional endings I have read in a children's book. I completely enjoyed it and, obviously, it made me shed tears (as usual, I guess I'm just that predictable sometimes). Forgotten the title or the author of a book?

After rereading both books, I finally figured out why I love them so much. It's because they mirror our lives, in a more simpler way, with people pretending they know everything but really knowing nothing, with others being disillusioned into thinking that certain people do know it all, with others jealous of others' accomplishments, and of course, the beautiful friendships. It is told from the perspective of both Winnie-the-Pooh and Christopher Robin, and serves as an allegory for loss of innocence and nostalgia for childhood. Loggins was a 17-year-old senior in high school when he wrote the song. [1] Reception [ edit ] Chart (1971) The House at Pooh Corner is about dear friends, friends who are different and each loved for who they are. It is about how it feels when such a friend leaves. It is a book about growing up.

The House at Pooh Corner is 2nd original Winnie the Pooh storybook, written by A.A. Milne and illustrated by Ernest H. Shepard, first published in 1928. The book is presented as a series of episodes, each depicting adventures involving a particular character, including the story of a house being built for Eeyore. More than 20 years after those recordings, Loggins added a new verse to the song reflecting how his life had come full circle since those days, making it the title song of his all-star family album, Return to Pooh Corner. In 1988, an audio version of the book, published by BBC Enterprises, was narrated by Alan Bennett. [13] There is a strong correlation between narrative skills and theory-of-mind ability. Stories are ideal tools to develop the ability to represent perspective, to accommodate differing perspectives. With increasing maturity we develop the skill not only of making mental models of what we and others know, both now and over longer periods, but also the ability to make models of other people's models, an embedded structure of what people think, feel and believe. Take for example the story of the deception that was carried out on Kanga where Piglet is substituted for Roo. This involves first strategic planning that consists mainly of mentalizing Kanga's reaction to Roo's disappearance, and then in a truly magnificent double bluff, in which Kanga pretends not to notice the difference between the two small animals. The child understands that Kanga knows more than Piglet thinks she knows. There are differing layers of mental models that can and must be accommodated and realised.On a very windy day, Piglet and Pooh visit Owl. While visiting him, his tree house gets blown over by the wind trapping the trio inside. In a moment of bravery, Piglet finds a way to escape through a tiny crevice. Piglet goes off to find Christopher Robin who will help get Pooh and Owl out. While Piglet is away, Owl begins telling Pooh a story about his uncle. Pooh dozes off during the story. Owl explained about the Necessary Dorsal Muscles. He had explained this to Pooh and Christopher Robin once before and had been waiting for a chance to do it again, because it is a thing you can easily explain twice before anybody knows what you are talking about.”

The coup of my essay, however, was revealing the sociological experiment carried out by my mother. Whilst I was sweetly put to sleep with Pooh each night, my poor brother was served up Dante. He has never recovered from the trauma of it. To him going to bed at night is to be avoided at all costs. Anything but that. And in a truly despicable example of what happens when one is raised on Dante, my mother once found that my brother had hanged his teddy bear. Annoyed by Tigger's bouncing, Rabbit, along with Pooh and Piglet, concocts a scheme to get Tigger to stop. Rabbit plans to take Tigger deep into the forest and lose him so that he will then be sad and quiet and stop bouncing. However, Tigger finds his way out while Rabbit, Pooh, and Piglet are lost instead. With Christopher Robin's help, Tigger finds the trio, and Rabbit is the sad and quiet one. In 1977, CCM singer Scott Wesley Brown covered the song for his album I'm Not Religious, I Just Love the Lord. [5] Democracy, ladies and gentlemen. The world has voted. Celebrity death match can scarcely go against figures like these. Now I just remember when I finished the first book, I was wondering where one of my favorite characters would be. Exactly, I'm talking about Tigger, who is not present in these stories until this second book. For one moment I thought he would be a Disney character only; fortunately it turned out that Tigger was introduced here, in one of the best tales I read in this second volume.Well," said Pooh, "what I like best-" and then he had to stop and think. Because although Eating Honey was a very good thing to do, there was a moment just before you began to eat it which was better than when you were, but he didn't know what it was called. And then he thought that being with Christopher Robin was a very good thing to do, and having Piglet near was a very friendly thing to have; and so, when he had thought it all out, he said, "What I like best in the whole world is Me and Piglet going to see You, and You saying 'What about a little something?' and Me saying, 'Well, I shouldn't mind a little something, should you, Piglet,' and it being a hummy sort of day outside, and birds singing."

But isn't the language a little, um, difficult for the modern audience? Do you think that something like "Up, sword; and know thou a more horrid hent:" is going to get through to a modern viewer?
