Read along with Disney! Spring has sprung in the Hundred-Acre Wood and Winnie the Pooh is planting a garden. Follow along with the word for word narration in this delightful tale to see what surprises are springing up in Pooh''s secret garden!

Rabbit mentions that bees are important for gardening, so Pooh decides he will plant his own garden to attract bees and get more honey for himself. He has a misconception this should be secret -- thus the title -- but immediately tells most of his friends in the Hundred-Acre Wood and gets them to help. Conflict free and only vaguely educational, even lifting the flaps did little to make this engaging.
(My Pooh Project: I love Winnie the Pooh, and so does my wife. Having a daughter gave us a chance to indoctrinate her into the cult by buying and reading her every Pooh book we came across. How many is that? I’m going to count them this year by reading and reviewing one every day and seeing which month I finally run out. Track my progress here: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list... )
My kids love Winnie the Pooh and gardening, so they enjoyed this book. Pooh learns from Rabbit that bees visit his garden to make honey. Of course a honey garden sounds wonderful to Pooh, so he attempts to create his own with some help from the other Hundred Acre Woods friends. Children can learn alongside Pooh about having a garden and the benefit of bees. It could spark an interest into gardening or sustaining plants and crops and bees. Lift the flap features were an additional highlight.
Well, we all know that Pooh Bear just wouldn't be Pooh Bear if he wasn't always in search of hunny for the rumbly in his tumbly. Today isn't any different! Pooh misunderstands Rabbit and decides to grow a not so secret garden - of hunny! This is a wonderful little book for children. My little ones love it!
Bought this as a gift for my cousin's baby shower, but then I did read it...:3
It's a clever little board book with peek-a-boo windows for the lil guy to play with. And it's a fun little Pooh adventure in which we learn that bees make honey but also tomatoes, which are great too.
It is aimed more at age 3 than at baby, which is marked clearly on the book (not the publisher's fault) but not so much on the website I bought it on, so, oops. But the kid will enjoy it soon enough.
Emma (8yr) said: i loved the book. The book was really funny, whenever pooh gets hungry ehe always searches for honey. I think it was a good book. I like how the author made pooh loose honey. Bella (6yrs) said: i like the book because it had summer in it. Sometimes when we get into summer it gets so hot. Mom review: good bookgood plot super cute. Will read again.
I like the book, but it is not made well for Kindle Edition
I really like the series, however, this book doesn’t read well on the kindle edition. I tried reading it to my grandchildren on my iPad Pro, but the print was offscreen and the background was too dark to the text on top. The Kindle Edition needs fixing for the iPad version.
Poor Pooh "of very little brain." I think he did a great job pulling together an entire garden, even though all he really needed to do was follow the bees to their hive for honey. We all learned some things in the process. The flaps were additive, I guess, but it was hard to be patient enough to open them for a surprise that completed the text.
Pooh is out of hunny so he visits Rabbit, who is gardening. Rabbit tells Pooh that growing a garden will bring bees who will then give Pooh hunny, so Pooh grows a garden, with help from his friends.
I have always loved Pooh. I never get tired of reading these books or gifting them. I chose this book because it fit the prompt in the 52 Book Club Challenge.
