Bryn has recently started to enjoy listening to the audio book of Winne-the-Pooh stories in the car &#038; getting to the point of retelling them. He is enjoying the simple fun adventures of Pooh &#038; his friends &#038; it&#8217;s a chance for me to discover them too as I seemed to have avoided most stories that involved talking animals when younger.<\/p>\n<p>This book also has illustrations by Ernest H. Shepard, the original Pooh drawings, which are really delightful &#038; I especially like the small pencil drawings. They feel subtle &#038; quirky in comparison to the Disney version.<\/p>\n<div style=\"width: 250px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue_books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/20110809-121557.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.meanboyfriend.com\/overdue_books\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/20110809-121557.jpg\" alt=\"20110809-121557.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" \/><\/a><p class=\"wp-caption-text\">One busy bee has so much to do That of he buzzes,...<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Freya is currently enjoying me making different animal noises so this book gives me the opportunity for plenty of buzzing, as we count backwards &#038; single bees buzz off.
