Illustrated by
Ernest H. Shepard.
Winnie-the-Pooh's pessimistic pal, the Old Grey Donkey Eeyore, plays a leading role in five stories culled from Milne's classic books. A large, square format lends itself to reading aloud, although the small vignettes of art will be best appreciated by lap-sitters. The enlarged format and the colorized illustrations seem like just another publisher's repackaging ploy to lure buyers, but the stories themselves retain all of their original charm.
