The World of Christopher Robin

Just in great condition. Book is exactly how I remembered it as a child.

the price and quality of the book was excellent as advertised. The shipping rate was a bit high.

This book was absolutely wonderful. It is a collection of poetry written by A.A. Milne. My favorite was 'A bear no matter how he tries/ grows tubby without exercise' I had heard that line before, but never realized that it is the beginning of an 80 line poem where Edward Bear is worried about his weight. He ends up meeting the King of France who is very tubby as well. After this meeting, He is comfortable with his tubbiness. There are also poems about racing water droplets, fishing, knights and ladies, James James Morrison Morrison and more.

If you liked other Winnie the Pooh books you will love the verses in this book as they take you thru the life of his friend, Christopher Robin. The book is full of beautiful illustrations as well as verses that are easy to read and understand!

If you loved When We Were Very Young and Now We Are Six, you will love The World of Christopher Robin. Like The World of Pooh, it has wonderful color illustrations. Unlike The World of Pooh, it is a book of poetry. The poems are lovely. One of the most widely known poem "Us Two" or as I like to call it "Wherever I am there's always Pooh" is in this great book. The poems are great for reading as a bedtime story or on a rainy day. The drawings of E. H. Shepard always add to the fun of reading this perfect book. Every A.A. Milne or Winnie-the-Pooh fan should buy this book to add to their collection of Pooh books and memorobilia.
