Return to the Hundred Acre Wood

BOOK NAME: Return to the Hundred Acre Wood
AUTHOR: David Benedictus

When you first hear the name Winnie-the-Pooh, you may think of a cute bear with a red shirt and a laugh that seems to float on air. But first, clear your mind for ten seconds and listen. This is the original Winnie-the-Pooh, not the Disney kind that you always see. This is a fun book and a light hearted read, especially if you are an optimist.

This book was written 80 years after the original and picks up right where the last story left off. There is quite a buzz in the Hundred Acre Wood as news of Christopher Robin’s return spreads quickly throughout the forest. Pooh can hardly contain his excitement and is once again ready to share his “hunny” with his best friend. Did you know that Christopher Robin is based on a real person? He is named after the son of the author of the original book series, A. A. Milne.

This book contains ten different stories all of which are quick, easy reads. They are delightful and satisfying despite their short length. In one of these stories, a new character is introduced. It is an otter named Lottie. Amazingly bold, you will remember her forever. She is a great addition to the usual cast of characters. In fact, all of the original characters are back in this book for new adventures together. Their whimsical and carefree way of life is a great escape. This is a children’s book collection that’s certainly worth revisiting.

I read the first book (one by A.A. Milne), and it was cute. It was a while ago, but I think it went kinda slow. I don’t know it about this this one, but it looks cute. I’m into the author Ted Dekker right now though, so I’m guessing I won’t read it soon. Anyone read anything by Ted Dekker? He’s one of my favs. Anyone read “The Girl Who Could Fly?” by Victoria Forester? That’s another book I LOVE.

Yup. My Dad has Return to Hundred Acre Woods on iBooks. It’s a cute story about Winnie the Pooh, and my three year old brother Murphy totally enjoys it.
