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.
