I dislike when the story in a children's book is based on factually incorrect information. In this tale, for instance, Owl declares it is time for him to fly south for the winter . . . even though most types of owls rarely migrate with the seasons. It is not uncommon for Owl to give bad information in Pooh stories, but his lapses are usually pointed out by another character, and this time it's just left there uncorrected.
Rolling with the premise, the rest of the book is a ho-hum study in how various residents of the Hundred-Acre Wood cope with missing their absent friend . . . until his inability to navigate makes all the emotional turmoil moot.
Side note: This is another entry in Disney's My Very First Winnie the Pooh series that credits the story as an adaptation on the title page even though I cannot track down where the story may have first appeared. Frustrating.

Yay, I finally found the source for this adaptation. It is very loosely based on the short story "Owl's Well That Ends Well" from Disney's Winnie the Pooh's Bedtime Stories, written by Bruce Talkington and illustrated by John Kurtz. It's such a loose adaptation, it actually incorporates pictures from other stories in the same book to add some very different aspects.
(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:
