(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, recovering from a case of the sniffles, receives a get well card from Christopher Robin. He gets the idea to try to learn how to write his name so that maybe he can send cards to friends himself. Pooh goes to all his friends, asking each of them to help him learn how to write. Each has their own unique technique but nothing really sinks in with Pooh until he gets a lesson on the basics from Christopher Robin himself. Pooh practices again and again until he does manage to write a recognizable version of his name, teaching young readers that whatever it is you want to accomplish, the important thing is to stick with it!

This was my favorite picture book growing up! I love the message it sends to the reader about perseverance. This would be a great addition to any classroom, and would probably be best as a read-aloud book. As a whole, the entire series teaches of valuable lessons for young minds.

Pooh is recovering from the sniffles and gets inspired to write his name. But he needs to try and try again to master the skill!

Not bad for a learn-to-read book.
