What does the Pageticker team say about Winnie-the-Pooh?

This well-known classic is gentle, funny and gloriously odd, with friendship at its heart and enough honey-related muddles to keep things buzzing. A. A. Milne’s playful language and E. H. Shepard’s expressive illustrations create a cosy world that rewards reading aloud. The pace and old-fashioned vocabulary may suit a shared read better than a newly independent reader, but Pooh and his friends remain excellent company.
