This is one of the first books I've come across that seems to be taking advantage of the fact that Winnie the Pooh is now in the public domain. It's basically an adaptation of the Disney film "Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day" that excludes the Tigger parts since he isn't in public domain yet. The characters are illustrated in a manner to very clearly distinguish them from the Disney versions in order to avoid any lawsuits. But the creator does jump the gun a little bit by including story elements from The House at Pooh Corner, which is not yet in public domain, so maybe there will be some lawsuits after all.

Anyhow, this is hideously illustrated and amateurishly written and should not be in anyone's library except the most hard-core Pooh completists. Like me.

(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:
