          <body><![CDATA[Like Alice, Winnie the Pooh had been missed from childhood reaing - too much adventure with Biggles, the World war Two fighter ace. Again a well illustrated book. It didn't always make much sense to me but I guess a 3-4 year old must be able to enjoy these stories without realising the nonsense talk...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/80874755">more...</a>]]></body>
