A bad bedtime rhyme with clip art from other Pooh books.
I recognize three of the interior images as Robbin Cuddy's work from Sweet Dreams, Pooh, which is ironically about Pooh having nightmares, so the pictures used here for a peaceful bedtime are actually of Pooh in full-on panic in the other book. The remaining two interior images were also used in Pooh's Fun with One, which has no credited artist because it too clipped its illustrations from another Pooh book, Disney's Winnie the Pooh: Everyday (1998), where the art is credited as penciled by Angel and Eva Rodriguez and painted by Paul Lopez.
(Pooh Project: Phase 2! I've managed to catalog all the shorter Pooh books my family owns (see the list here). While I work through few remaining longer Pooh books we own, I'm missing my daily dose of Pooh, so I'm going to start seeking out some of the Pooh books I don't own – yet – from libraries IRL and online. See the reviews here.)

Ah, Miss Milnes, we meet again.
I don't blame you for nonsensical art, like Pooh terrified and huddled in bed on the front cover, or Pooh dreaming of a wingèd Piglet blowing a whistle while he flies around Pooh's head with two songbirds and a woodpecker perched on a branch that's not connected to a tree.
I don't blame you for the X's and O's present on page 3 even though only kisses are mentioned (why are X's kisses and O's hugs? O's kind of look like a mouth and you could cross your arms like an X when you hug.)
I do blame you for saying the moon is playing with Pooh. How can the moon play with Pooh when he's asleep.
I blame you for terrifying my child with lines like "Pooh's dancing in his sleep and looking 'round for you!" and "Catch up with your dreams—Pooh's waiting for you!" (You just love your em dashes, don't you Miss Milnes.)
I blame you for saying Pooh is "dreaming of happy times and nice good-night kisses" and that he's "laughing and singing and humming", and yet, "in his dream he's wishing that morning soon will come". If his dreams are so delightful WHY WOULD HE WISH THAT MORNING SOON WILL COME? Perhaps the illustrator had the truth after all. (I do give you credit for hyphenating "good-night" as it is used as an adjective; you will see this reflected in my rating.)
I blame you for "he's wishing that morning soon will come." This is the most awkward phrase in an altogether awkward career, Miss Milnes.
I blame you for the unwanted "you" in "Winnie is sleeping, so you close your eyes, too!" And no one calls him just "Winnie", Miss Milnes.
I blame you for rhyming your lines and yet following no meter. This saddens me most of all, Miss Milnes.
A deceiver can be forgiven, but a poor poet cannot be redeemed.

I'm looking forward to being able to read the original chapter book aloud.
