Lol! Funny and timely tale featuring our childhood favorites: Pooh, Piglet, Owl, and the rest of the 100 acre wood gang! Not a children's book, more for older teens and adults. Features Eeyore in therapy for depression, alone time for Kanga, and other fun subjects. Recycling with Pooh and some new friends in the Woods. Short but funny read!
I received an arc from the pulisher in exchange for my own review.

This is an absolutely delightful "adaptation" of Winnie the Pooh for our times. The stories bring to life all our favourite characters, and introduce a few more.

The tales told here deal with various modern concerns and conundrums - not least the implications of climate change for honey production (which is, let's face it, one of Winnie the Pooh's primary worries).

There is a lot of wisdom, and a great deal of fun to be had with this little book. If you care about anything really, and especially if you are a fan of Winnie the Pooh, this book is not to be missed.

A charming and cozy read about Pooh and his friends from the Hundred Acre Woods as they deal with misadventures and fun. This was such a cute and cozy read and still keeps the charm of the classic characters. It's perfect for fans of Frog and Toad and anyone who enjoys a sweet and adorable read. It perfectly captures the essence of the original characters but with a modern feel and twist and I think its just delightful!

*Thanks Netgalley and Running Press, Running Press Adult for sending me an arc in exchange for an honest review*

I cannot tell you how excited I was to be kindly given access to this particular ARC as A day spent with Pooh is my favourite day! (Please excuse the gratuitous artistic licence employed there) BUT, yes! Winnie the Pooh (original book) AND a modern retelling! THANK YOU

I can't even.

Ok, I will pull up my grown up socks and get on with the review.

But it's a Winnie the Pooh retelling!

Ok, promise, this time;

"Oh, Bother - Winnie-the-Pooh is Befuddled, Too (A Smackerel-Sized Parody of Modern Life) by Jennie Egerdie and published by Running Press is beyond chef's kiss good, this chef is taking you to PAris for a posh dinner AND buying you flowers and choccies! It is simply stunning, hilarious, whimsical, charming, and oh my life I cannot get over the "orange goo". I was howling with laughter!

(Also "in which our friends meet an incredulous marmot" - I nearly passed out from laughing)

Seriously, a marmot with a bumbag on (a fannypack for our lovely American friends)

Here I am, trying to write a serious review about how utterly AMAZING this book is and I am giggling my head off

The illustrations are fantastic, the prose screamingly hilarious and all in all, a real treat. Maybe I will write another review, all sensible and focussed on the technical brilliance and skill with narrative, but right now, I am utterly thrilled and so very delighted. I will absolutely be buying this book. And in hardcover to boot!

Buy this book. If you loved Winnie the Pooh as a child, buy this book for you as an adult. It is simply fabulous

Thank you very, very much to Netgalley, Running Press and Jenny Egerdie for this truly phenomenal ARC that brought so much fun to my evening. My review is left voluntarily and all opinions are my own
