Bardzo małe rzeczy. Proste refleksje o życiu i przyjaźni ze Stumilowego Lasu

by Catherine Hapka, Mike Wall (Illustrator)

W życiu ciesz się bardzo małymi rzeczami – bo pewnego dnia może się okazać, że to one są największe ze wszystkich.

Refleksje o życiu i przyjaźni podniosą na duchu czytelników w każdym wieku dzięki prostym i pięknie ilustrowanym afirmacjom. Chwile spędzone na wędrówce po Stumilowym Lesie w towarzystwie Kubusia Puchatka przypominają, że nawet najmniejsze rzeczy są źródłem szczęścia i wdzięczności, a radość można znaleźć w urokach przyrody, w życzliwości przyjaciół, w kropli pysznego miodu…

Incredibly cute. I will always love anything that involves Pooh Bear 🫶🏼

Odrobinę za dużo banałów i antysamotnościowej propagandy, ale z drugiej strony - chyba o to właśnie chodziło (podtytuł "Proste refleksje" należy brać na serio), więc swoje założenie ta książka spełnia. Nie polecam, jeśli jesteście uczuleni na frazesy tak jak ja.

An absolutely nostalgic tale that brings great joy. The simple affirmations and reflections in this book are wonderfully positive and inspiring. As a lifetime Winnie the Pooh fan, this is a must have book.

[Rod Brown]

A laughably bad book with really nice illustrations.

In my review of Charlie Mackesy's The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse, I wrote, "If A. A. Milne were forced to spend a year reading nothing but Hallmark cards and inspirational Facebook posts, Winnie-the-Pooh might have turned out something like this piece of junk." Well, someone at Disney must have noticed the success of that inane book and decided to churn out their own sickeningly trite version.

The most cliched Pooh plot is trotted out, with Pooh waking up one morning, encountering a problem, and then going around to his friends one by one until the problem goes away or is solved (usually by Christopher Robin) and a celebratory party can be had. Only now every page includes a little insipid aphorism that ties into whatever is happening on the page at the moment.

Some of the worst:
• Why sit at home and curse an empty belly when a friend might have food to share?
• Your friends are one of your greatest resources, and you are one of theirs.
• Don't let minor chores stand in the way of major accomplishments.
• Decisions, decisions . . . Life is full of them.

(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:

This is the second book I read in Polish. At this point I found it much easier, in part because this one actually had a story (unlike Mała księga mądrości Kubusia). The edition is pretty, and I liked the illustration style. It's closer to Milne's style of illustration for the original Pooh books that to the style of Disney's cartoon Pooh. Overall, a simple but cute story, I enjoyed it.

Super cute and super positive!

Very cute with lovely messages accompanying the beautiful illustrations. 😊❤️

[Benedict Stephens]

What more can one want than another adventure with our silly old bear. Pooh’s simple reflections are just what I needed after a chaotic day. The slow pace of the book and the wonderful illustrations build space for the key quotes set in. Looking forward to rediscovering more of Milne’s world.

[Gabriella]

This is adorable and a great gift for any Pooh fan, nobody tell my mother I read it before I gave it to her.

najpiękniejsze ilustracje jakie widziałam.

[Mégan (les.chaos.litteraires)]

En tant que fan de longue date de Winnie l'Ourson, ce livre est un incontournable à avoir dans ma collection.

La nostalgie de retrouver Winnie à l'âge adulte A fait du bien à mon cœur d'enfant, m'a donné le sourire et a guéri quelque chose en moi.

Les illustrations sont absolument incroyables. Ce n'est pas une version inspirée des personnages, mais bel et bien, les personnages comme on les connait, dessinés avec exactitude comme ils étaient lorsque j'étais enfant.

Les réflexions, citations et dialogues sont inspirants, significatifs. C'est beau et tout en simplicité. Ce n'est pas de la grande psychologie, mais ça fait du bien, ça remet les choses en perspective et ça fait sourire.

[Rian]

If you think about the double meaning and life lessons behind the words of the Winnie the Pooh stories by yourself already while reading it, this might not really add something "completely new" to your life, but it's still fun to read. The illustrations are so cute, so just those alone are great for anyone's Pooh collection.

Dałabym 4, a jednocześnie wiem, że nie zapadnie mi w pamięć. Z drugiej strony, była naprawdę urocza i warta przeczytania. To taki przytulas na deszczowy dzień :)

[Amy Mitchell]

Super cute. As someone who is a big fan of Winnie the Pooh this was the perfect sweet, nostalgic & positive read!

[Stefanie]

Een warm bad van nostalgie. De prachtige illustraties en eenvoudige, rakende affirmaties maken dit boek tijdloos. Dankbaar dat ik dit als eerste boek van het jaar mocht lezen. Een absolute aanrader 💛

[Charlotte Max-Wilson]

What a beautiful little book 🫶🏼

[Emma]

Beautiful drawings throughout. Sometimes it's the simplest of messages that make the biggest impact.
