This is a direct adaptation of A. A. Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh Chapter One: In Which We Are Introduced to Winnie-the-Pooh and Some Bees, and the Stories Begin. And by direct, I mean adapter Bob Totten simply cuts out a few paragraphs from the beginning and end of the chapter and only a few parenthetical sentences from the middle, leaving the rest of Milne's prose intact.

Artists from the Walt Disney Studio draw Pooh and Christopher Robin in the style of the Disney film "Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree," the first half of which also adapts the same chapter. Many of the pictures are direct copies of Ernest H. Shepard's original drawings with the Disney-model Pooh simply substituted in -- though not so well drawn at times.

If you don't have time to read Milne's complete book, then this sampler is about the best adaptation you can get.

I'd be interested in seeing Milne's complete books illustrated with Disney-model characters. I would think an edition like that would be a natural for Disney to produce, but I've yet to come across such a thing.

(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:
