Publisher's summary

Come with us to an Enchanted Place, a forest where Winnie-the-Pooh lived with Piglet, Rabbit, Owl, Eeyore, Kanga, and Little Roo. The stories are about Christopher Robin and these good companions having wonderful times getting in and out of trouble. It is all very exciting and, really, quite thrilling no matter how young or old you may be. It is painful to try and imagine what the world would be like without them.

Critic reviews

"This program exemplifies the potential quality audio has for complementing text. Soothing music introduces and links the stories and verses. Subtle sounds of nature immerse the listener in Pooh's world and provide a backdrop for Peter Dennis' enchanting performance. Dennis' ability to switch characters and moods allows him to accurately portray the range of characters in the stories. These talents shine prominently....Dennis expresses the multitude of emotions in a childlike tone which is key to the success of the program. All ages will enjoy this marvelous performance of Milne's words." (AudioFile)
"Congratulations on your outstanding contribution to children and their families. The sort of growth your work inspires speaks for emotional, ethical, and character development." (Parents' Choice)

Lovely!

This book was included with membership and well worth the time! Delightful narration of the characters with music as well. I love how many free quality books are included with the membership and I get to hear books that I have loved in the past or new books to explore.

Precious!!

This is the sweetest collection of stories. I laughed out loud at some of their antics. The logic and concept connections of children are on wonderful display. You will enjoy our silly old bear with a new appreciation!

Heartwarming

The storytelling is great especially with the added background music and sound effects. I truly enjoyed listening to this.

So sweet

Winnie The Pooh has always been one of my all time favorite characters! Just made me smile listening to this book!!

Super narration and wonderfully nostalgic

I read this long ago. Was grand to hear it narrated, especially by this reader! And normally I don't care for sound effects or chapter music, but these were tasteful and satisfying. Hmm, maybe there weren't really sound effects? :-)

Sweet children’s classic

Loved this on audio. Charming unabridged and authorized audio of the Pooh tales. Piglet’s little noises were my favorite.

Brilliant!

I did not grow up with Winnie the Pooh but am thankful I got to meet him and his friends as a grown up with my kids. 10 years after our first listen, we continue to do so. Peter Dennis is a brilliant performer. The is the only version you need!

A sweet tradition for our family

We started listening to the Peter Dennis version of these stories a few years ago when my kids were preschoolers. It is still a wonderful tradition that they love to do. These stories help them slow down from the busyness of being big kids, and frankly does the same for me as an adult. I hope we never grow out of it.

Delightful!!

I loved this story. It was delightful! Im looking forward to sharing it with my grandchildren!

Snort snort snot.

The acting and recording of piglets snorts are just too much. They are just too loud and too often.
