Review: Original Winnie the Pooh mini board books

Original Winnie the Pooh series board books, ages infant-3
Titles include: Pooh and Some Bees; Pooh Goes Visiting; Tigger Has
Breakfast
Adapted from Winnie-the-Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner by A. A.
Milne, illustrated by Ernest H. Shepard

The three titles in this series (each sold separately) are the perfect
size for little hands and the right price for mom and dad at $3.99
each. I appreciate that the original illustrations are used -- Disney
can't beat that! ;) Each book retells one little scene from Milne's
books. The text is nicely adapted from the original, maintaining a
similar British feel to Milne's classic stories. The only negative
might be that some of the text is just a little too long (particularly
in Tigger Has Breakfast) for the youngest ones who are anxious to turn
the page. We first bought these for our daughter when she was in the
9-12 month range, but they could easily be enjoyed throughout the
toddler and preschool years.

Note: Unfortunately, Tigger Has Breakfast is currently out-of-print. The other two titles are still available.
