I so love my Pooh dictionary and it's definitely one of my favourites on my bookshelf.
Packed with words and phrases from Hundred acre wood that are listed alphabetically.
Words like Boff, to cough in that very excitable way that bouncing sort of Animals,like Tigger's, do quite a lot. page 37 the Pooh dictionary.
Really magical book, recommended for all lovers of Winnie the Pooh both big and small.

This is DELIGHTFUL. It will make you want to pick up the originals or pick them up again. I love the cross references, the quotes ,and especially the way it, like the original, takes itself seriously but not too much. A must for any Pooh lover's bookshelf.

This is as charming (if not more!) than reading the books themselves. Cross-referenced all to heck, it communicates the charm of the stories very well.

A sweet little dictionary of words that Winnie the Pooh and his friends use. A few examples: biscuit cough, captainish, grrrr-oppp-ptschschschz, spudge, tiddely pom, and many others.

Really cute.

Funny. The opening entry is [of course] for the letter "A", explaining that it is the first letter of the alphabet but no one knows why and perhaps it won some sort of contest.

A must read for every fan of Pooh!

All the idiosyncrasies of pooh and his gang. Charming.

I'm very pleased that my first completed book of 2020 is 'The Pooh Dictionary', a book I had not heard of until a few weeks ago when I found it on a church bookstall.

Written in the style of AA Milne's original books, this dictionary - which is more like an encyclopedia - lists all the words and phrases used by Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends, explaining them in context, with plenty of tongue-in-cheek humour.

I read it straight through, but it would also make a great book to dip into, and follow the chains of 'see also....'. Very enjoyable, highly recommended for anyone who recalls AA Milne's classic stories from childhood (and who probably still has the books for further reference).

I have always wanted to read this book. A friend at work got me this book to read. I will always treasure this book as a gift. This is and 80th anniversary edition, so this makes Pooh 80 years old. Amazing that a silly old bear could live this long. But Pooh is immortal to people of all ages. He is certainly one of my favorite characters. This would be a great book to read to your children. It is broken up into chapters and the illustrations are beautiful. Exactly like I remember the characters, Winnie the Pooh, Piglet, Eyeore, Rabbit, Owl, Kanga, Roo and of course Christopher Robin. There is a beautiful illustration of the 100 Acre Woods on the inside and backsides of the flaps. If you have a chance and see this book, pick it up. It's awesome!

A sort-of-dictionary of Winnie-the-Pooh which I bought at a bok-bargain shop for 1 Euro.

It was definitely worth the Euro.

I read it when I went to bed and was too tired to read a real book. You are never too tired for a letter of Pooh-words. And it's hard not to like this book if you like Pooh, and I LOVE Winnie-the-Pooh, but it's not worth more than 1 Euro, because all that made me like it was taken right from the original.

As a child, of course, I loved this book. But in the last few years I've begun reading it to my daughter, and often find myself unable to read b/c I am laughing so hard.
A.A. Milne creates a brilliant story for children, while making it quite amusing for the adult reading it. The characters are lovable, the storylines are great.

A lovely read and the book was in really good condition. Brought back some lovely memories and an insight into the friends of 100 AcreWood. A book to keep on revisiting, dipping into and/or as a reference book.
