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)

Classic Pooh

This was a lovely tale read by a very talented narrator. I was not raised on Winnie the Pooh. Therefore, this was a treat to finally hear the stories.

Winnie the Pooh

Any additional comments?

When I was younger, we watched the Winnie the Pooh cartoons and I didn't even realize that they were based on books. If you haven't read the books, you need to! They are good classics--I have even read them (a few pages or one chapter at a time) to very young babies/toddlers at naptime. There is humor in the characters' conversation that makes these books amusing for adults as well as children.

Old favorite

This is a very good recording of a favorite book of mine growing up. My only complaint is that every time Piglet talks a snort is added in between words. Which makes it very difficult to listen to. But other than that top-notch

Beautiful stories for all ages

This audiobook will bring joy to all hearts - child and adult. Pooh and his friends are timeless. The narrator does a fantastic job and I would certainly listen to more by him.

Got this for my daughter

She loves it, we play it at least once a week. Nice classic stories that remind me of my own childhood.

loved it

Just the absolute best story. Everything I like to listen about and more. Such a great story I will listen again and again. A keeper!!

'This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review'

Absolutely delightful...

This is an absolutely delightful audio edition of a childhood classic. I can't believe that I've never read/listened to this before now!
I really, really loved this, and can't recommend it enough. Even if you think you don't need to get this because you've A); already watched the cartoons, or B); don't have kids, or C); if you're like me and the kids are already grown up... Get this audio book and love it all over again !!!

Took me back to my childhood

This book took me back to the childhood I wished I had. The childhood I think of when all I can remember are the good things and none of the bad.

A treasure!

Treat yourself or those you love to some wonderful time very well spent in the 100-acre wood. Delightfully narrated and orchestrated (yes, there’s music and some sound effects, too). What a joy for listeners of all ages.
