Disney Winnie the Pooh Storybook Collection

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Robbin Cuddy. Eleven previously published tales about Pooh and his pals make up this entertaining collection, which features bright cartoon illustrations and large typeface. Although this hefty book has little literary merit, it's better written than many of Disney's other efforts, and the familiar characters and their small-scale adventures--celebrating a birthday, playing school, moving Tigger to a new home, etc.--are appealing.
