The Best Bear in All the World: In Which We Join Winnie-the-Pooh for a Year of Adventures in the Hundred Acre Wood
(3)
4-6
Also written by Kate Saunders. With decorations by Mark Burgess in the style of E. H. Shepard. The authors pay homage to Milne and his characters for the ninetieth anniversary of the publication of Winnie-the-Pooh. Four seasonal stories ably re-create the feeling of the original books, and Burgess does an admirable job of picturing Christopher Robin, Pooh, and the rest. Fans who want more Pooh adventures will be pleased (though purists may not).

Liberally illustrated with Shepard's (colorized) drawings and a few archival photos, this handsome volume describes the circumstances that led to the writing of Milne's four children's books. Filled with biographical notes and information about the toys that inspired the characters, the text has appeal for both children and adults. However, the lack of bibliographic material limits its usefulness as a reference source.
