“I received a copy of this book for free from the publisher (Canterbury Classics) for promotional purposes.
This book was just as cute as the first one!
I read the first Winnie the Pooh book 2 years ago and was obsessed. I am so glad I got around to reading the sequel. It had all the charm of its predecessor. Pooh and all his friends were (still) so adorable. In this story, we are finally introduced to Tigger. Unsurprisingly, Tigger was an absolute delight.
The last chapter was amazing. It really hit at growing up and moving on from your childhood. It made me teary eyed which is saying something because books don’t usually make me cry. It hit me right in the feels and made me so nostalgic for my childhood.
This edition also included the poetry collection, “Now We Are Six,” which features appearances from Christopher Robin and Pooh. As a poetry fan, I also enjoyed this collection. The poems were fun, playful, and innocent. My favorite poem in the collection was “Solitude” (pg. 191). I found that poem to be so relatable, even as an adult.
Once again, the illustrations (both in the story and poetry collection) were a whimsical touch. Ernest H. Shepard was an amazing illustrator.
Overall, if you loved Winnie the Pooh, you need to read this one. If only there were more books! I never want to leave Hundred Acre Wood.”
About A. A. Milne
Born in London, A. A. Milne attended a small, independent school run by his father. He went on to Trinity College, Cambridge, graduating in 1903 with a B.A. in Mathematics. His articles for a student magazine gained attention from the popular British magazine Punch, where he became a regular contributor and later, an assistant editor. Milne was primarily a playwright until his two books about a boy name Christopher Robin—named after his son, Christopher Robin Milne (1920–96)—and characters inspired by his son’s stuffed animals (led by a teddy bear named Winnie-the-Pooh) overshadowed his previous work. A veteran of World War I and II, Milne died at his home in Sussex in 1956, a couple weeks after his 74th birthday.
