A patronizing and preachy little book that tells us how to be happy and healthy by not overeating, keeping a tidy appearance, getting fresh air and exercise, and cheering up others. Simplistic and not fun to read.

I see several bookstores around the internet attributing this book to Mary Carey, but I do not see her name in my 1990 edition of the book or any of the editions whose title pages are available to view on the internet. I'd be interested in knowing if there is some edition that does have her name or how she came to be associated with the book.

(My Pooh Project: I love Winnie the Pooh, and so does my wife. Having a daughter gave us a chance to indoctrinate her into the cult by buying and reading her every Pooh book we came across. How many is that? I’m going to count them this year by reading and reviewing one every day and seeing which month I finally run out. Track my progress here:

This is not a story book. It's a long-winded and boring lecture on how to take care of yourself and be nice to your friends. I would prefer a story with a moral to it. Then I wouldn't have to make up all the words when reading to my daughter.
