Winne the Pooh's Easter

by Bruce Talkington, Bill Langley (Illustrator), Diana Wakeman (Illustrator)

Pooh discovers an enormous egg decorated with bright polka dots and stripes. "It's an Easter egg, " Rabbit explains to Pooh. "It appears they can talk." And, although neither Pooh nor his friends can make the egg talk, the spirit of caring is communicated once the egg is opened and wonderful Easter surprises are shared among all. The sunny, springtime illustrations convey the uplifting, warm mood of the season.

Goodreads says this was published in 1900 but I think it was more recent than that and not a story by AA Milne. It's very short and pretty weak, didn't like this much, I tried to do the voices to save Winnie the Pooh a bit of face but I don't think my daughter really enjoyed this. There was a bit of Pooh's mad randomness (i.e. painting each other to get the egg to talk to them), maybe if the story was a bit longer I might have been able to see the Pooh I remembered as a kid.

The story had barely started when it suddenly ended, got a collection of these books so hopefully they will improve.

It was a cute book and my daughter loved the illustrations.

After a mysterious egg appears Up There on the Hundred Acre Hilltop, Pooh and his friends seek to make it feel at home in hopes of hearing its message of love.

A surreal trek into the vaguely pagan and paint-riddled easter celebration of the residents of the Hundred-Acre Wood.

I love that this book is written in the style of A. A. Milne's original tales. So witty and clever. I think it would have been cuter if the pictures at the end showed eggs that looked like the characters rather than how the characters painted themselves, but that's fine.

This is a sweet book. The animals discover a big egg, have a long group discussion about it, and then have a surprise at the end.
