Return to the Hundred Acre Wood by David Benedictus, inspired by A.A. Milne and E.H. Shepard

Christopher Robin has returned to the Hundred Acre Wood! Back from boarding school for the summer, Christopher Robin and all his old friends, plus a new one, enjoy many adventures in the Hundred Acre Wood.

I hadn't read this when it first came out, despite my love for the original Winnie-the-Pooh, because I was skeptical. It's really hard to write a sequel to book that someone else wrote, especially when trying to write in the original person's style, and especially if that original person had a very distinct style and voice in their writing, like Winnie-the-Pooh (or Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy). So although we had it in my library, I never got around to reading it.
