Eeyore takes the spotlight and then slowly and discreetly steps out of it as his friends argue about the best activity for him to do on a sunny afternoon. There are lots of cute pictures imagining Eeyore doing the things he obviously has no desire to do. Fortunately, Pooh shows up and inadvertently inspires a new idea upon which everyone can agree. Cut to the inevitable book-ending party.

Cute, and everyone is in character. A solid Pooh time.

(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:

I thought that this way a very cute book. At the beginning of it, all of the characters wanted to help Eeyore find something to do. The problem was that they were all suggesting things that they did, instead of things that would suit Eeyore. This problem gets resolved at the end when Piglet comes up with the idea for everyone to go on a picnic, which involves activities that everyone enjoys. I really liked how the book was resolved at the end because it teaches children that they can't just think about themselves but rather think about others and what will make everyone happy in the end. I think that this book would be appropriate for readers ages 5-7, being an early reader book.

This would be a good book to read to a classroom or to just have a pair of children read who are having problems with fighting. This story does a good job of informing the reader that fighting is not a good thing and how it makes the people around them feel when they fight.
