Disappointment: Dust jacket was accurate, actual book was not.

Though this book was described as complete works, and had the dust jacket for the complete works, the actual hardcover book was Celebrate the Year with Winnie the Pooh. Disgraceful double-cross by the seller, and I am disappointed in your conscious desire to be dishonest.

Inaccurate description.

This is not a box set. Very upsetting.

Misleading description

I ordered the collection of 4 Winnie the Pooh books and ended up getting one single book called A House is Built at Pooh Corner for Eeyore.

Wonderful book

I bought this book as a baby shower gift, and couldn't have been more pleased. It has an attractive cover, sturdy pages, and a good binding -- all necessary for years of bedtime stories! Like most classic Pooh books, the only illustrations are the original drawings, so the emphasis is on the story. One note: This is a big, fairly heavy book. It's something to be read to or by an older child, maybe at bedtime, but it's not as durable for the poundings board books get.

Wonderful!

The delightful full color illustrations by Ernest H. Shepard are what separate this combined volume from all others. A must-have for Pooh fans. The large type-set will be appreciated by those needing it.

A bear of very little brains . . .

A. A. Milne would be proud of the interpretation of his story and characters that will always live in the forest of imagination. Ernest H. Shepard's artwork makes this adventure is a visual delight. The characters represent archetypes to which children can identify and relate. As long as there are children and parents to read to them, Winnie the Pooh will remain a favorite storybook classic. * Pooh teaches a positive attitude; he will always get the honey, and get out of predicaments through his friends. His wisdom is simple and easy for children to understand and agree upon.* Eyore is forlorn, pessimistic, and surprised by the good things that come his way. He never expects to be part of the crowd, but always is included. The emotion is easy to relate to from our own adolescence, and helps adults remember the trials of childhood. * Tigger and his bouncy tail take us into the air in a never-ending enthusiasm for the joy in life. In addition, he shows the potential of getting into trouble because he does not think about the results.* Rabbit, practical Rabbit, who is also a sourpuss, shows that we can always miss the joy in life, but if we join with others then good things happen.* Kanga and baby Roo show the importance of love and protection for parent and child.* Owl is the wise old teacher who always asks "Who?" in the quest for knowledge, and shows the value of learning. * Christopher Robin represents the adult, the one who solves problems, and is a constant force even when not present. He is the focus, the thinker, and he shows the value of considering thought before words and actions. Since he is a child, children can see they too have control, make decisions, and find answers. My daughter loves her long worn out book with the torn red cover, and although this book is its replacement, the original stays in the family.Five stars and great thanks to Walt Disney Studios who keeps the Winnie the Pooh light burning.Victoria Tarrani

The REAL Pooh

No childhood - or adulthood, for that matter - would be complete without the adventures of wonderful Winnie and his friends. This 75th anniversary edition is beautifully presented, and readers used to Disney's glossily commercial drawings will be amazed by the original Ernest H. Shepard illustrations featured here. Coloured by Shepard when he was in his 90s (!), Pooh, Piglet, Christopher Robin and co have never seemed more endearing and vivid.But the greatest credit should surely go to A.A. Milne for creating some of fiction's most delightful characters. Reading this collection today after a break of 30-odd years, Milne's gentle wit and enthusiasm seem as fresh as ever. What a wonderful sense of life (and fun) the man must have possessed. Pooh is the perfect antidote to today's cynical times!

One of the Most Memorable Books Ever Written

One doesn't need to be a child to enjoy this book!I originally bought this for my son twenty years ago, and am now purchasing it for my granddaughter. My son still loves reading the stories that he and I enjoyed together in quiet times, "when he was very young". The stories are truly timeless, and the illustrations help evoke a beautiful, simpler time...a must for every library where excellent literature is appreciated.
