I read and reviewed the two volumes in this separately, so this is really just for my own records. The 4 star rating is an average, rounded up: the original Winnie the Pooh is hilarious and I gave it 4 stars, while The House at Pooh Corner is less impressive. Don't get me wrong, it's still enjoyable, but it's not as funny and it trips a little closer to the cutesy line than its predecessor. I gave it 3 stars, so 3.5 to the both of them together.
