Illustrated by
Ernest H. Shepard.
These adaptations of two chapters from Winnie-the-Pooh preserve Milne's words, humor, and pacing while simplifying the texts for beginning readers, mainly by cutting out a few phrases here and there. Enlarged and colorized, Shepard's illustrations work well in this easy-reader format. Purists will clamor for the originals, but for most readers the alterations will be indiscernible.
