Winnie the Pooh

I have a very limited selection of books here at my school (K-8 with only 100 students), so I have to take what I can get some days if I want to use the library here.  This was on one of my "must read" lists so I grabbed it this morning and read it at lunch.  Makes me miss being a kid.  I still love Pooh and watch it with my kids when I can.

I hate that so many kids today do not seem to have the imaginations that we had when I was young.  Today they replace imagination with videos and television and computers. (Wow, that makes me sound old doesn't it?)  Christopher Robin had hours and hours of fun with Pooh and Eeyore and Piglet and the rest of his "friends".  This is a well loved book at our house.  I caught my 14 year old reading it the other day while she was cleaning the living room.  She said it makes her happy and that Pooh will always be her favorite.
Great, great, great book!!!  I would say you could definitely read it to younger kids and then let them read it themselves as soon as they can read the words.  Nothing in it is shocking or harmful or controversial as far as I am concerned.  And obviously, older kids like it too.
