A bear of very little brain. Eeyore in his field, eating thistles. Tigger trying to find out which food Tiggers like best. Pooh sticks. Rabbit and all Rabbit's friends and relations. Owl (or Wol) and his very intelligent sign, which read: Backson. Bisi. Backson.
So much of these stories is now woven into our collective consciousness - imagine coming from a generation without Pooh! Therefore I consider it our duty to make sure that we pass on these books. They're old now, sure, but so's the Bible and nobody's thinking of dropping that from the list of books a person Must Read, are they? And now I'm hungry and it must be time for elevenses somewhere in the world...

i was never read, rubbed up against or introduced to pooh as a child so it is entirely new to me. plus kids in *this day and age* can't eat honey until they are one. imagine. me just being me, it is a bit weird for the protagnonist in the story to be called the same thing which goes 'plop' every day in the giant ceramic bowl of happiness. plop. pooh.
