Welcome to Litsy!

2 ⭐ Sometimes we should NOT revisit childhood classics. This was a case of the wrong book at the wrong time. I thought I knew most everything there was in the Winnie the Pooh stories. I grew up reading them or having them read to me. I grew up watching the many versions on the Disney channel, from the original animated to the puppet interpretation, this was my childhood. I looked forward to revisiting this, and the idea of the Fireside Chat.

Thanks for the tag @Eggs 💜

I am so thankful & grateful for this community. The brightest spot on the internet.

I like to read series in publication order, so read this book first before the March #ChildrensClassicRead2022 pick. Upon finishing, I realized it‘s actually the 2nd book in the series!😂No matter, it was very sweet and reminded me of simpler times.❤️ 4/5⭐️

As you do

These are the books that entered the public domain on Jan. 1. Personally I‘m hoping for an amazing leather bound copy of Winnie the Pooh, to go with my copy I still have from Christmas 1957.

I know it's a day late. 😂

1. Lindsey Kelk as she always makes me laugh.
2. No.
3. I am grateful for the tagged book as it is a childhood favourite.

More fun if it‘s read aloud rather than read it in silent

I've been reading this with the kids for the last couple of weeks and we just finished it. I think I got more out of it than they did, because it felt very nostalgic... but they were perfect, calm bedtime stories. Their favorite was the story where Piglet had to be rescued from the flood. #raisingreaders

@DebinHawaii the kids LOVE the bookmarks you got them!!!! They say thank you!
We are starting Winnie the Pooh tonight, so Nina is "pre-reading" it to her teddies. Her version is about a bear named Harvest and he's kind of a troublemaker. Lane is flipping through The Princess in Black, and getting annoyed with his sister for being too loud ?? #raisingreaders

I chose this for the next goodnight-read to my daughter but bailed and finished it by myself. Maybe I expected something completely different but this feels like a children‘s book for adults. I had a really hard time reading/telling the stories out loud.

Finished It yesterday night. What an adorabile story!

I've always loved Pooh and his gang, though l had only watched the TV show up to now. Even as a kid, l loved the nonsense and the gentile plots.
It's a lighthearted world, but there's depth too. The episode where Isaia gets his birthday presents, for example, moisted my eyes.

So happy l finally read It.

#FellowshipOfTolkien this remainder me so much of the Letters from Father Christmas.

I'm seriously loving it 😍

I feel like this a lot too Pooh 📖❤📚

I remember that l really loved Pooh when l was a kid, though l watched it on tv, never read it before. So l'm quite excited to finally read it.

Due to all the restrictions here in Italy over the Christmas period, my sister won't be able to spend Christmas with us. So we decided we'll celebrate together in January, when the lockdown will be over.

Gifts are postoned, then.
So l decided to get something for myself that l wanted to get for a long time.

Braver, Smarter, Stronger. A good mantra to keep in mind going into 2021.

Yesterday, my dad would have been 59. In honor of his memory I got a tattoo for him. He had a tiger tattoo on his arm, and being a huge Winnie the Pooh fan growing up, I got the OG Tigger. The sunflowers are for my favorite memory that makes me chuckle every time.

I hope everyone has a wonderful (hopefully snowy) winter.

Happy Thanksgiving Day!

Thanks for the tag @JennyM 😘

1. I would have chosen Winnie the Pooh if you hadn‘t have beaten me to it Jenny! So instead I‘ll go with Eeyore - suits the current mood!
2. Yes, it varies. Usually a dusting or a couple of inches here and there - it doesn‘t usually hang around for long.

I‘m late so play along if you‘d like to!

Thanks for the tag @Trashcanman 😘 @TheSpineView

1. Winnie the Pooh - the wisest bear🐻🍯

Fancy playing @squirrelbrain @KarenUK ?

"You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and smarter than you think.”

I picked this up as a free audiobook somewhere along the line, and I finally listened to it on my evening walks yesterday and today. Between listening to the news and keeping up with teaching virtually this week, I was in the mood for a lighter listen. It wasn‘t anything that wowed me, but it was enjoyable and nostalgic as I remember watching the cartoons as a kid.

Wizard of Oz for depicting women in strong leadership roles?? Really? I hope there's more to that story.

People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.

#3Books ...with animals on the cover
For this one I picked books that were childhood favorites because this prompt immediately evoked some nostalgia for me. Though there are lots of good adult books with animals on the cover, too.

18-22 July 2020 (audiobook)
Listened to the audiobook narrated by Peter Dennis with the girls. The stories are wonderful, of course, but I really did not like Piglet‘s constant snorting.

1 - Even though I don't remember reading it as a child, Winnie the Pooh is one of my favorite children's books, and the illustrations are a big part of why I like it so much.

2 - Not too shabby. I'm on pace to read a little over 100 books this year, which is a lot for me. Thought I'd be reading more for work, but that hasn't happened.

3 - The Sun is Also a Star, by Nicola Yoon

A little late, but thanks for the tag, @Eggs

Drive past this house as I was listening to the book...what are the odds?!? 🤔#audiobook #litinreallife

I've always adored Winnie the Pooh because I grew up with the show, but I never actually read the books. Found this wonderful audio on audible.stories.com which is free right now to entertain and educate kids during this moment without traditional school. I'm thoroughly enjoying this. And actually listening to it on 1 x speed instead of sped up since the performance is part of this experience.

"Because my spelling is Wobbly. It's good spelling but it Wobbles and the letters get in the wrong places." That is the best explanation for incorrect spelling I have ever come across ?

"Then would you read a Sustaining Book, such as would help and comfort a Wedged Bear in Great Tightness?" ? Silly Bear!

A classic through and through - it's Winnie the Pooh! This is a restored copy of the end pages that I found while browsing the internet.

"I ought to say that it isn't just an ordinary sort of boat. Sometimes it's a Boat, and sometimes it's more of an Accident. It all depends."

"Depends on what?"

"On whether I'm on top of it or underneath it."

Probably my all-time favorite breakfast quote.💛🐻🍯

“When you wake up in the morning, Pooh,” said Piglet at last, “what‘s the first thing you say to yourself?”

“What‘s for breakfast?” said Pooh. “What do you say, Piglet?” “

I say, “I wonder what‘s going to happen exciting today?” said Piglet.

Pooh nodded thoughtfully. “It‘s the same thing,” he said.
