Welcome to Litsy!

Not the game of Poo Sticks I'd prefer to play, to be honest 💩
However, I've reached the age when I get routinely included in testing, so I'm going to have to grin and bear it (multiple puns there, for which I make no apology 😁)
I have no indications of a medical problem, but as my dad died from bowel cancer, it's wise to get checked 🙂

I liked this one even more than the first installment. This was sadder, but so beautiful and I think I loved how this made me feel.

“By the time it came to the edge of the Forest, the stream had grown up, so that it was almost a river, and, being grown-up, it did not run and jump and sparkle along as it used to do when it was younger, but moved more slowly. For it knew now where it was going, and it said to itself, “There is no hurry. We shall get there some day.”

#thoughtfulthursday

1. So many great places to picnic! The first that came to mind was the 100 Acre Wood. But also Willie Wonka‘s Chocolate factory, Pemberley, and Paradise Falls.

2. Anyone who wants to go! But at the 100 Acre Wood, I would hope to at least run into Pooh Bear.

3. Fruit, baguette, cheese, nuts, wine, portable speaker, blanket, pillows

An absolutely beautiful read. Hits on growing up in a sad but sweet way. I may have almost teared up at the end, it was great. I loved the sly comments Eeyore made in this book (my favorite!) and the loveable moments of Pooh. Made me reflect on my own childhood and the innocence of that time. Great comfort read for any age.

5/5🌟

Listening to this one on audio because they do voices of the characters! (Though Tigger‘s voice in the 2nd book is starting to get on my nerves so maybe will go back to reading). Such a cute read so far though 🍯 Wrote a thesis on the first one so I want to finish off the series. ✨

Rivers know this: there is no hurry. We shall get there some day.

25-26 July 2020 (audiobook)
I think this is one of those rare occasions where the sequel is better than the original book. We listened to the audiobook again, and again it would be so much better without Piglet‘s snorting. I just cannot understand why it was included. I do still love this collection of stories though.

"But whatever his weight in pounds, shillings, and ounces, he always seems bigger because of his bounces."

“He looked up at his clock, which had stopped at five minutes to eleven some weeks ago.“

I wouldn't use this book in my classroom because I feel like it's not really age appropriate and it doesn't seem to have any lessons that are applicable to a classroom.

The House at Pooh Corner written by A.A. Milne. Chapter 1. p. 1-20. This chapter tells the story of Pooh Bear and his friends. I would classify this book as Animal Fantasy because animals are given human-like qualities and characteristics. The author has made the story more believable by giving the animals names and allowing them to experience human-like relationships like with Christopher Robin.

“The only reason for being a bee that I know of is making honey.“
-Winnie the Pooh

I liked how Winnie the Pooh and Christopher Robin had their own private farewell party, it shows the importance of friendship. Pooh promises Christopher Robin that he will never forget him even when he is 100 years old.

I love how the author wrote this book for her son, Christopher Robin, and use his stuffed animals as the characters. In the book, Christopher Robin is growing up, and will eventually have to leave his friends in Hundred Acre Woods because he has to go to school. At the end, all of the friends gather for a farewell party to say goodbye.

“Hallo Piglet,” he said. “I thought you were out.” “No,” said Piglet, “it‘s you who were out, Pooh.” “So it was,” said Pooh. “I knew one of us was.”

I think this was a really cute story that made me reminisce on my childhood. I remember sitting with a big stuffed Pooh bear while my grandma would read the stories to me. I can‘t wait to share these stories with class after class of students.

This modern fantasy story was a cute story about Pooh and his friends coming together to help build Eeyore a house. Originally Pooh just wanted to hum his outdoor song to Eeyore but he decided to help build him a house when he saw how cold Eeyore must be! I think this is a cute charming story with little bits of humor that kids of all ages would love.

“Because I know I‘m not getting fatter, but his door may be getting thinner.”

I LOVE WINNIE THE POOH when I was younger my whole room was decorated Winnie the Pooh themed! Reading this brought back so many memories and I just love Pooh and all his friends

The House at Pooh Corner by A.A. Milne is a work of modern fantasy. It was written in 1928 and then later republished in 1956. This is a chapter book, but each chapter is a short story involving Winnie the Pooh and all of his friends. I chose to read chapter four in which Roo and Tigger get stuck in a tree. This was super interesting and held my interest the whole way through. I love how witty Pooh is and all his adventures.

I thrifted these today.Nice , clean copies .I am going to reread some of these children‘s classics then donate them to my local little free library.I hope they will inspire some kids to love reading, I know they worked for me!

Found at the Book Sorting today: first American edition The House at Pooh Corner and Now We Are Six and 1928 editions of Winnie the Pooh and When We Were Very Young. Those last two were the FIFTY FOURTH printing.

Cup of coffee and a chapter of Pooh. ☕️📙🐻

Just finished reading this book out loud to my kids! A very, cute book❤️💫💫💫💫

5.24.19: I am enjoying this series so much! Super cute, quick reads☺️

This narrator is no Jim Dale. The voices were so annoying. I would have stopped listening, but the audiobook was only a little over 3 hours.

I think my expectations are too high for these books because I loved the tv shows and movies etc. and Tigger is my favorite Disney character. And he‘s hardly in the books.

5.22.19: Just a quick chapter before bed😴

Getting my audiobooks selection ready for #BookFitnessChallenge

Does anyone have any audiobooks they recommend?
Has anyone read any that I‘m planning to choose from?

I‘m trying to get my books from Hoopla! But I can only request 5 or 6 books a month!

I don‘t listen to a lot of audiobooks, so I don‘t really have any preferences!

As a child Winnie the Pooh was always my favorite thing to listen to, read, and watch. As an adult I still hold Pooh and the gang close to my heart. This book was just as magical as I remember. It allowed me to have a little piece of my childhood back. I recommend everyone read this to their children and to themselves.

#quotes

Went to a craft fair and found a lady that rebinds old books and adds blank note pages between chapters. The whole story is in here. It was really hard to chose which book to pick, she had lots of children's books and classics.

Found this old copy while dusting some shelves. Decided that it would be a good idea to pull it off the shelf before seeing the new movie!

"Promise me you'll always remember: You're braver than you believe, and stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think." A.A. Milne

Late to this. Can't even claim it's still Thursday somewhere on Earth. Anyway, thanks for the tag @ephemeralwaltz.

1) The House at Pooh Corner
2) Neil Gaiman, Neverwhere or Penny Reid, Neanderthal seeks Human
3) Probably something along: comb your hair, clip your nails, eat your soup, watch where you're going, don't mistreat dogs and don't play with fire, then you'll grow up to be a splendid person.

“...because the Forest will always be there... and anybody who is Friendly with Bears can find it” A.A. Milne

Today's opshop finds along with some Sheridan Ken Done fabric. I wonder how much it is worth?

An enjoyable #lightread, #reminiscing my #chilhood. #Adventures with #Pooh and his friends are always #fun and full of #laughter!
