Product ID: 48921300
This beautiful edition brings together four volumes in one stunning slipcased gift book: Winnie-the-Pooh, The House at Pooh Corner, When We Were Very Young and Now We Are Six. A.A.Milne’s Winnie-the-Pooh is nothing less than a true children’s classic. Winnie-the-Pooh may be a bear of very little brain, but thanks to his friends Piglet, Eeyore and, of course, Christopher Robin, he’s never far from an adventure. This very special collection of the classic stories and poetry will delight fans of Winnie-the-Pooh young and old. Relive all your favourite moments in the Hundred Acre Wood, brought stunningly to life with the iconic decorations by E.H.Shepard. Winnie-the-Pooh The Complete Collection of Stories and Poems is a perfect christening gift. The nation’s favourite teddy bear has been delighting generations of children for over 95 years. Milne’s classic children’s stories – featuring Piglet, Eeyore, Christopher Robin and, of course, Pooh himself – are gently humorous while teaching lessons about friendship and kindness. Pooh ranks alongside other beloved character such as Paddington Bear, and Peter Rabbit as an essential part of our literary heritage. Whether you’re 5 or 55, Pooh is the bear for all ages. Do you own all the classic Pooh titles? Winnie-the-Pooh The House at Pooh Corner When We Were Very Young Now We Are Six Return to the Hundred Acre Wood The Best Bear in All the World Once There Was a Bear Tales from the Forest Winter in the Wood Review: A wonderfully enjoyable classic - A wonderfully enjoyable story to share with little ones. This book was purchased by myself for my five year old daughter to listen to (not read independently). Winnie-the-Pooh is a timeless classic for a reason: simple plots; engagingly beautiful illustrations; and wonderful language throughout. A perfect bedtime book to share and unwind with. Main points: - The chapters are just short enough to keep a child engaged, any younger than 5 and I hazard a guess that some children may find the chapters too long and some of the interchange between author and Christopher Robin too complex to grasp. - The illustrations are breathtakingly beautiful, complement the text fantastically and appear frequently enough to keep the young reader engaged. I personally experienced a real rush of nostalgia turning the pages of this story again as my adult self. - The book is A4 in size and too heavy for a five year old to independently hold and navigate given it is 400+ pages long. Far better to snuggle up with the adult holding the book and the child following along. Obviously, the older the child the less of an issue this is. - The language and phrases are different to modern-day vernacular and, as such, grants access to vocabulary that is often unspoken in present-day society. Pooh's explanations and language are brilliant and really draw out his character. - Delivery was fast and the presentation of the book was perfect, i.e. the sleeve it was sent in was undamaged and the designs are lovely. It looks great on the bookshelf if this is something that concerns you. Cons: - The size of the book. It is too heavy for a young child to independently hold for a sustained length of time. The older your child the less of an issue this is. - 5+ is possibly the youngest age I would introduce a child to this version of Winnie the Pooh, some of the other Disney versions are better for younger ages. Hope this helps! :) Review: Just lovely - Bought this as a gift for our Grandchild - everyone at the baby shower wrote a message inside. It is a lovely book, in a slip case. A lovely memento of a great day, and knowing how much my own daughter loved her copy, I know this will be enjoyed by them all for years to come

Great book, great seller!
Great book as expected. My son loves this book before bed and we tend to do one of the short stories per night. The book condition was excellent, as described. The initial order had some issues in transit (outside of sellers control) and the seller was really responsive to my contact and immediately rectified the issue. Top marks for both the book, and the seller!

Complete Winnie The Pooh! Big, heavy intend to read and look at drawings with grandson at table.
Was £40 now about £20. Very good quality hardback in cardboard sleeve. Too heavy for 'my' 2 year olds to lift by themselves. Ideal for sitting together at table. I am going to buy the paperbacks for them IF they really love it (very cheap). Both are Polish speakers, so also bought Polish translation (with English & drawings) of chapter two only to get them into the characters, places, etc. There are also Italian & Portugese translations (their fathers come from those places) for next year! Hope they may want to learn some English so they can read it all themselves :). Also, I gave one of them a proper teddy bear when his new brother was due to help him cope with the change, this may be like a 'handbook' on how to love & look after someone small (and he can blame them for odd things, and even give them a whack - better than he hits his little brother. WHAT A BARGAIN!!!

The book is excellent, but the slipcase was damaged.
The book arrived in a damaged slipcase, but the book itself was in excellent condition with great quality. The paper quality is superb, and the binding is sturdy. It would have been better if the slipcase had not been damaged during transit.

Wonderful read. A must for every child
I have never read Winnie the Pooh and after seeing Goodby Christopher Robin film, I wanted to read the books. A beautiful book both stories and illustrations. The book is quite large and heavy so I would think Male it difficult for a child to hold., although at bed time, it could rest on their lap. As the book is for me an adult. This is not an issue. I wish I’d read as a child

Winnie-ther-Pooh!
Packaging - Plastic wrapped. Delivered in the standard Amazon paper bag. No complaints. Binding - Hard Binding. The book comes in a sturdy book case. Photos attached. Condition - In good condition. Looks very new. Not crumpled or anything. Pages are fresh. Glossy paper. Printing - Very legible. Neat and clean. Big font. I can't tell the exact font name and size but the big writing works for me. You can see the font in the pictures I uploaded. Value for money - Bought it for 3499 INR. It's the optimum price. If they tag a higher price, I'll have to think twice before hitting Buy. It's all 4 parts bound in 1 book - 1. Winnie the Pooh 2. The House at the Pooh Corner 3. When we were Very Young 4. Now we are Six I bought this for myself and I am 25 years old. Brings back memories. Only flaw - The book's 434 pages long. It will not be possible for a 5-6 year old to hold the book. So, recommended to buy in parts. It might cost more altogether but it will be more effective for kids' reading.

Very good
I have ordered the product from Türkiye and it took 5 days to come. The book is in a very good condition, however the envelope it comes in was a bit torn. Overall, I love it. I bought it for a gift to myself, it could be a good choice for a gift to anyone who loves Winnie the Pooh.
