Reading my dad's first book this afternoon made me think about the first book I ever remembered reading. It was this one. The first in a 19 book series about Winnie-the-Pooh a.k.a my favorite animated character of all time. #sigmems
My son loves these volumed treasuries and I do too. I didn't have any from this series as a kid, it's new to my son's nursery. In this book, the inhabitants of the hundred acre wood spot a rainbow, and trek across the wood to try and find the treasure at the end of it. There isn't any pot of gold, but the gang find treasures in nature and one of Pooh's old pots as well. It's a sweet lesson in that there's much more to be enjoyed than money. I thought it was very sweet.
After a hilarious bit where Owl fails to convince Pooh that gold is more precious than honey, the book devolves into a dull quest for the pot of gold at the end of a rainbow and further moralizing about things as precious as gold. The author should have stopped while she was ahead.
(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... )
I found this book and some other in the book store's basement in a cartoon, grabbed it for free and actually enjoyed reading it.
It's about Pooh and his friends' journey to find a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Although They can not find gold, they do find something as precious as it; their friendship!
Going through some stored items we found these Pooh books and are reading to the little ones. Such a joy going back and enjoying these stories again. In true Pooh form he and his friends find other things that are 'good as gold'
Tämä lasten serkuilta meille kulkeutunut Nalle Puh-kuvakirja yllätti positiivisesti. Juoni oli ihan mukava, pituus sopiva leikki-ikäisille ja kuvitus ihanan pastellisävyinen.
This book is suitable for nursery and primary age children.
At the beginning of the book Winnie the Pooh is counting his honey pots and notices one of them is missing. Roo comes hopping in the ddor and tells Pooh to come look at the rainbow outside. when he gets outside he finds Owl and Tigger. they set off to find the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. On the way they ran into Piglet. On the way Piglet found a shiny rock he thought was a piece of gold. Pooh noticed Piglet felt embarresed about being wrong but told Piglet he could keep the rock and it made him feel better. as they continued on there search, Tigger came across a robins egg. he liked the color of the eggs and decided to take one with him. Roo wanted to keep the nest the eggs were in. As they got close to the end, they got excited about the gold. Owl was disappointed to find that the only thing at the end of the rainbow was Poohs missing honey pot. Owl was upset that he didnt find any treasure so Pooh ate al the honey out of his pot and went off into the woods. He came back with a pot full of red, blue, green, and yellow berries. He gave the pot to Owl and told him now he had his own rainbow in a pot and this made owl happy. on the way home owl asked if he had told the group what his uncle said about good friends...they are as good as gold.
The pictures look as if they were hand sketched with a pencil and colored in. The artist used lines to created the illusion of shading around the faces of the characters. The book is full of bright colors that easily attract the attention of young children. the illustations are detailed but not enough to see the single strand of fur.
This book is a great book for young children. It teaches children that it is fun to go on adventures and find treasures but its is more important to have friends to go on those adventures with. Like Owl said good friends are as good as gold. Friends are priceless compared to any material posessions you may have. It is a good book for adults to read to remind them that getting what you want out of life is good to do but if you have nobody to share it with, how much is it really worth.
Another hand-me-down from Annie. The boys frequently pick it at bedtime, so it gets an abridged reading. 4/2/11 Part of afternoon reading time on the sofa with Dad.

Another book from my childhood! Alas, this one was not as good as I had hoped. I am obviously not the target audience, but even for little ones, there are better ways to spend your time.
