A quick little zoom through a day in the life of Pooh leads to him falling asleep quickly at bedtime.

This is another of those books with some weak rhymes and all the art recycled from other Pooh books. I recognize one illustration from Sweet Dreams, Pooh by Robbin Cuddy and another from Disney's Winnie the Pooh: Everyday by Angel Rodriguez, Eva Rodriguez and Paul Lopez. The other pictures look familiar too, but I haven't placed them yet.

(Pooh Project: Phase 2! I've managed to catalog all the shorter Pooh books my family owns (see the list here). While I work through few remaining longer Pooh books we own, I'm missing my daily dose of Pooh, so I'm going to start seeking out some of the Pooh books I don't own – yet – from libraries IRL and online. See the reviews here.)

The second book in the "Winnie the Pooh's Sweet Dreams" series. First off, don't be fooled: you might think the author Ellen Milnes is a descendant of A. A. Milne and therefore has some right to pen stories in the Winnie the Pooh universe HOWEVER: note the "s" at the end of her name. Don't be fooled.

I realize that with the second sentence of this review I've already passed the word count of this book, so I'll keep this brief. The book is mostly inoffensive until the penultimate page: "What next? You must know—there's no more to be said!"

1. It's a very clumsy way to rhyme with "bed" on the last page. I'm not re-writing this book, but how about using "bread" or "head" or "lead" or "read"? "Dead" would have been my preference.

2. Horrific use of an em dash.

3. The accompanying illustration makes it look like Pooh has dementia. "Bed time? What does that mean? I don't remember doing this every day of my life."

Save your hard-earned dollars, and save your children from another banal Disney cash grab.
