Ever since discovering the Goodreads list function, I've gone after it like Winnie the Pooh at a honey pot. Having stumbled over the 50 Books A Kid Should Read Before 12 list and discovering to my horror that I'd never even glanced at the majority, well... there was another run of books to work through and this was on it. So over the past few months I've reacquainted myself with Pooh and Eeyore and the rest. I read and reviewed the 4 volumes in this collection separately so won't bother to repeat myself here, but suffice to say the average rating came to 4 stars. They're fun and funny and they do tend to the saccharine at times, which never impresses me - but you can't have everything, and Pooh hanging from a balloon pretending to be a cloud and James James Morrison Morrison Weatherby George Dupree (little shit that he is) is enough for me.
