Review This great classic is beautifully decorated by Ernest H. Shepard in wonderful color for the 80th Anniversary Edition. Children of all ages love hearing about Pooh bear and adults enjoy sharing him. The book makes a wonderful read-aloud for children and the pictures aid in the storytelling. Ana S. (2008) explains that these stories are special because they enter the world of children and allow adults to be children, even if it’s just for the short time while reading. She states that Milne “…achieves a very precious balance – he doesn’t disturb the house of cards, so to speak” (Ana S., 2008).
