A most basic ABC book for those that love Pooh. There is a drawing with one word for a letter on each page. The drawings are lifted from A. A. Milne’s work it appears and Ernest Shepard colored them in. It appears he added a few things like the Buffalo at the zoo.

Some nights the nephew likes to read simple board books. This was his pick and he said it was good. He gave it 3 stars. For the age it’s intended, it’s sweet and cozy. I’m rating it for kids age 2-4 and it’s a 4 star.

Okay I admit it, I have always loved Winnie the Pooh. It just so happens that my cousin has this book, and would always read it to me when I was little. I did not realize that the book is so old. It truly is an amazing book, that I encourage everyone to read, especially those people out in the world that love Winnie the Pooh.

Goutrug
" "Er stond gewoon: Uit, Goutrug. Net als hier, maar hier staat ook: Duruk, Goutrug."
Uil slaakte een diepe zucht van opluchting.
"Aah!" zei Uil, "nu weten we, waar wij zijn."
"Ja," zei Konijn, "maar waar is Janneman Robinson. Dat is het punt, waar het om gaat." "

Winner-the-Pooh's ABC is a great book to help young readers begin to understand the alphabet. Each page has a different letter, and a different symbol and word to go with that letter. It is simply laid out so that it is easy to read and understand. Pictures allow for the young readers to first and try and figure out what they letter is and how it associates with other words. I would use this is a pre-school class to help them to begin grasping their ABCs. Showing my students this book would not overwhelm them it would allow for them get an idea of what letters look like in ways that they can understand.

This is an awesome alphabet book for young readers. The pages have the letters and a symbol to go with that letter. It is very easy for the reader to understand what is going on in this book and they are able to make connections with the picture it goes with. I think it is awesome for the child to have the picture association with the letter.

I like the idea of somebody having to comb through Ernest H. Shepard's illustrations from the four books he did with A. A. Milne and finding the 26 images that would work for an alphabet book. The dragon is a bit jarring, the island seems like more of a rock, yellow daffodil is just plain weak, and expedition is an outright cheat, but, hey, if that's what you have to work with, you make it work.

(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:

My five-year-old son picked this book out from the library this week. He loves his ABC books. I love my Winnie-the-Pooh, so we were both happy.

This is a very basic alphabet book. That is not a criticism. Because it is a basic ABC book, the illustrations really shine and stand out. As they should.

[Alexis Smith-Gaddis · Rating 4 out of 5]

This ABC book by A.A Milne has simple illustrations and clear content. This is a fun Winnie-the-Pooh version of the alphabet. Due to the simple illustrations, easy/clear content, I would use this children's book in a Pre-kindergarten classroom to teach the students their alphabet. This is a cute ABC book to use in a pre-kindergarten class, or even have on the shelf in a kindergarten classroom.

[Emily Powers · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book would be a great ABC book to use with Pre-K students. It takes different words from the book and ties them into the ABC's concept. Most Pre-K kids love Winnie the Pooh so I think it would be a great book to use in the classroom so that they are enthusiastic about it!

Cute traditional Pooh-bear illustrations. Words are all in lower-case, to help with reading.

Brings me back to the days when I read Winnie the Pooh. Simple ABC book that my girls could read!

[Aaliyah · Rating 5 out of 5]

Book for beginning readers. The book just teaches the kids about the alphabet. :)

Some of the letters were a stretch. North Pole?

[Freddie D · Rating 3 out of 5]

A very sweet, old-school style Pooh-themed alphabet book

[Jamie · Rating 2 out of 5]

Interesting to see original drawings, but pretty boring for my daughter. Also, some far reaches for the letters. Everybody knows X stands for Xylophone, not Expedition. Right???

This book goes through the alphabet using sign language. It shows the signs for each letter, as well as the sign for a word that starts with each letter. It also describes how to do each sign in words.

I love Winnie the Pooh and I think this book does a really good job of describing how to do each sign in different ways so that all learners can understand.

This book would be good for any classroom but as a social worker, it would be cool to use this book to teach children the alphabet in sign language. If there was a child in that class who was hearing impaired I would see if they wanted to help me teach their class.

[Amanda · Rating 4 out of 5]

I couldn't believe how much my son liked this one. He's 4 and it seemed a little bit hard for him to try and understand the signs from the pictures, but after I did them and helped him out, it was a little easier. Maybe he enjoyed the challenge, or maybe it's just his constant love of letters. Either way, he liked it a lot and I had fun reading it to him.

"Winne-the-Pooh's ABC" by A.A. Milne is a simple children's ABC book. This book teaches the alphabet in a way that is simple, but very cute. The illustrations are perfect for the book and would be good for a pre-k classroom. I would keep this book in my classroom library for my students to use as a reference source.

[Natalie Traylor]

This ABC book has pages full of pictures from the Winnie the Pooh series. Each letter is shown in uppercase and lowercase form with a picture to display the word. All of the words are fairly simple for children to read.

I would use this book in a kindergarten classroom to teach the alphabet and to let children begin to read the simple words by also looking at the pictures.

[Brittney Dermo]

This book makes discovering the alphabet more fun than ever when children can learn their letters with the Best Bear in All the World. From apple to zoo, familiar words and images from the four Pooh classics adorn the pages of this charming book. Each letter is represented in large type in both its capital and lowercase forms. I would use this book to help beginning readers learn their alphabet.

[Megan Roberts]

This book uses different words from Winnie-the-Pooh and puts them with the alphabet. For a student who likes Winnie-the-Pooh this would be perfect for them because they would be more likely to learn it. Even if a student did not know Winnie-the-Pooh they would still enjoy this kid friendly book with the illustrations and the creative words they use.

[Elsa · Rating 2 out of 5]

This is just a basic ABC book with illustrations pulled from the original Pooh books. I would have liked it to be more Pooh-centric; there are better ABC books with classic children's characters, like Dr. Seuss or Little Critter.

[Alli Eidson]

This book is about Winnie the Pooh learning his alphabet. Each page consists of a letter and an example of the picture and a word that is chosen for that specific letter. I would use this in a pre-k or kindergarten class as they are learning their alphabet and things that start with each letter.

[Baby Isabel]

John: Winnie the Pooh, ABCs. a great combo

[Savannah Meacham]

Takes place in the Hundred Acre Woods. I could use it to teach the alphabet and letter sounds.
