Kubus Puchatek (KUBUŚ PUCHATEK)

Product Information

I was going to put some ribbon around them and sell them as a set, but I got lost in reading The King's Breakfast (and loving Shepard's illustrations) aloud. I don't really want to sell the book now. I want to have kiddies come into the shop and on the pretext of perhaps making a sale from the parents reading the poems aloud. Most of the parents won't be impressed though, they prefer the Disney version ;-( And the kids - they are more into Peppa Pig and Doc McStuffins these days. This book gets better every time I read it. Next time you want to read it, don’t read it. Instead, listen to it narrated by Peter Dennis. And do it soon. I guarantee you will not be disappointed! This first volume is made up of ten partly separate short stories, where each tale usually has a different 'main protagonist' or a character whose story will be the main plot in every case. For instance, the first tale is a short introduction to my two favorite characters in the book: Pooh Bear and Christopher Robin. The second one has another character who is mainly involved in a particular situation, and then they (those characters who have been introduced to us until that moment) will try to give a solution to that problem, and so on. Besides, every chapter has an accurate title which describes what we are about to read, sometimes in a funny, cheerful way.

And indeed, Pooh was nowhere to be seen. But a moment later, they heard his voice, and then he came around a tree, carrying a large tray. We need to Do Something," said Rabbit, paying him no attention. "I have made a List of Suggestions." He took out a piece of paper.A.A. Milne's Pooh stories need no introduction; they have been loved by generations of children and their parents ever since they were first published in 1926. My daughter pointed out that one of these stories is in her third grade reader. After this refresher, I fear that this book might promote some bad reading and grammar habits in kids just learning to read. Needless to say I'd highly recommend this book, but just in case it was not clear: I would wholeheartedly recommend this book to every single person in the world, children or grown-ups.

Najstarsze i wciąż najbardziej popularne tłumaczenie obu książek (jak i Wierszy) jest autorstwa Ireny Tuwim. Istnieje też nowszy przekład, pod tytułem Fredzia Phi-Phi, autorstwa Moniki Adamczyk-Garbowskiej (wydawnictwo Lublin 1986, nakład 100 000 egz.) – kontrowersyjny przekład tytułu uważany jest przez jego zwolenników za bliższy oryginałowi. He married Dorothy "Daphne" de Sélincourt in 1913, and their only son, Christopher Robin Milne, was born in 1920. In 1925, A. A. Milne bought a country home, Cotchford Farm, in Hartfield, East Sussex. During World War II, A. A. Milne was Captain of the Home Guard in Hartfield & Forest Row, insisting on being plain 'Mr. Milne' to the members of his platoon. He retired to the farm after a stroke and brain surgery in 1952 left him an invalid and by August 1953 "he seemed very old and disenchanted".

After the war, he wrote a denunciation of war titled Peace with Honour (1934), which he retracted somewhat with 1940's War with Honour. During World War II, Milne was one of the most prominent critics of English writer P. G. Wodehouse, who was captured at his country home in France by the Nazis and imprisoned for a year. Wodehouse made radio broadcasts about his internment, which were broadcast from Berlin. Although the light-hearted broadcasts made fun of the Germans, Milne accused Wodehouse of committing an act of near treason by cooperating with his country's enemy. Wodehouse got some revenge on his former friend by creating fatuous parodies of the Christopher Robin poems in some of his later stories, and claiming that Milne "was probably jealous of all other writers.... But I loved his stuff." Inspiracją do stworzenia Stumilowego Lasu był Ashdown Forest, prawdziwy las w hrabstwie Sussex. Stumilowy Las zamieszkany jest przez Kubusia Puchatka i przyjaciół.

Sadly, my wife was not such a big fan. She -*outrage*- thinks Pooh's stories are boring! Despite these nonsense ramblings I've bowed to her demands and the next book we're reading our sprog is her choice, Enid Blyton's The Enchanted Wood (the first book in The Faraway Tree series). I've already pegged The Wind in the Willows to follow, so it may be some time before we return to Christopher-Robin and friends - but thanks to the great times we had here, I'm determined that we will.

The bouncy toy-tiger character of Tigger is not introduced until the sequel, The House at Pooh Corner. A. A. Milne was born in Kilburn, London, to parents Vince Milne and Sarah Marie Milne (née Heginbotham) and grew up at Henley House School, 6/7 Mortimer Road (now Crescent), Kilburn, a small public school run by his father. One of his teachers was H. G. Wells who taught there in 1889–90. Milne attended Westminster School and Trinity College, Cambridge, where he studied on a mathematics scholarship. While there, he edited and wrote for Granta, a student magazine. He collaborated with his brother Kenneth and their articles appeared over the initials AKM. Milne's work came to the attention of the leading British humour magazine Punch, where Milne was to become a contributor and later an assistant editor. I've owned this copy of Winnie The Pooh since I was very young myself - and despite a comfortable familiarity with the characters, Christopher-Robin, Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore, Rabit, Owl, Kanga and Roo... I found that I wasn't familiar with their specific adventures. I found myself wondering if I'd ever actually read the book before?
