Another instance of Disney recycling as this is an abridged version of Pooh's Favorite Things about Spring by Kathleen W. Zoehfeld. The art is the same in both books, but one them must have an editorial error as the original attributes the interior art to Robbin Cuddy and this one credits it to Elisa Marrucchi with a Robbin Cuddy cover. Oops!

My original review of Pooh's Favorite Things about Spring: "Another one of those nothing stories where Pooh awakes to the first day of spring and walks around the Hundred Acre Wood singing and meeting his friends one by one before inviting them all to a big picnic party. Ho-hum."

The edits here don't do anything to improve upon the original, and anyone who likes the song Pooh sings throughout will be disappointed to find that this version is missing an entire verse.

(Pooh Project: Phase 2! I've managed to catalog all the shorter Pooh projects my family owns (see the list here). While I work through few remaining longer Pooh books we own, I'm missing my daily dose of Pooh, so I'm going to start seeking out some of the Pooh books I don't own – yet – from libraries IRL and online. See the reviews here.) ( )
