Winnie-The-Pooh, by A.A. Milne
In my book, you kinda can’t go wrong with Winnie-The-Pooh, Piglet, Rabbit and ol’ Christopher Robin. I remember reading this when I was younger and thinking, even then, that it was maybe the cutest thing ever written. When Winnie-The-Pooh dressed up as a rain cloud, I’m pretty sure a collective “aww!” spread throughout the whole world. Cutest frigging thing ever.
So I liked Winnie-The-Pooh, I do admit that. However, at some point, my aunt and uncle must have seen me reading this book and decided that it was my obsession. Every year from the time I was pretty young until I was way, way too old I got little Winnie-The-Pooh things. If I remember correctly, they were even getting me Winnie-The-Pooh watches and figurines until well into high school… maybe after. I just didn’t have the heart to tell them that while I enjoyed a good Heffalump story, it was by no means my favorite thing of all time.
This is the book that comes on the iPad, so recently I’ve revisited a little bit and I have to say, it is just as good as an adult. This is one of the books that I really cannot wait to read out loud to my kiddies.
