UPDATE - 12/25/2022
I was bamboozled!
When I started to read my Pooh book of the day, Funny Hunny Christmas, I was reminded that it is just yesterday's book, The Sweetest Christmas, with a new title and a new cover illustrated by Costa Alavezos. The insides are identical in text and pictures, written by Ann Braybrooks and drawn by Josie Yee. My daughter pointed out that at least we are only out 48 cents according to the Half-Price Books sticker on the cover of the original book.
ORIGINAL REVIEW - 12/24/2022
After too many pages of sifting through the junk in his house to regift as Christmas presents to his friends, Winnie the Pooh decides he must make the ultimate sacrifice and give out his full stock of honey pots. But as he gives each friend a pot -- over and over, page by page -- they give him a present back with smirks and cryptic little statements that go over Pooh's head.
Sort of cute, sort of annoying.
(My Pooh Project: I love Winnie the Pooh, and so does my wife. Having a daughter gave us a chance to indoctrinate her into the cult by buying and reading her every Pooh book we came across. How many is that? I’m going to count them this year by reading and reviewing one every day and seeing which month I finally run out. Track my progress here:

Pooh Bear realises he has forgotten to find gifts for his friends. He goes to Christopher Robin for help and sees stockings. With a plan to add gifts into them he delivers a stoking to each of his friends and on Christmas morning they all surprise him.
This was beautiful, perfectly true for Pooh Bear and had all the perfect elements that make you love these characters. I adored how he selected the perfect stoking for each friend, in various sizes and that they each adored. They knew the perfect thing to do with them it was a wonderful read.

I read this to my granddaughters and my daughter as we were traveling to one of Jessie’s games.
Winnie the Pooh was so selfless when he gave away all his prized honey pots to his friends…only to be surprised by getting even more honey back.

This book was very sweet. It teaches children that giving what you have can go a long way.
