Editorial Reviews

Tim Wynne-Jones

The House at Pooh Corner is, to this day, my favorite childhood book, as much for Shepard's illustrations, I'm sure, as for Milne's brilliant text.
Riverbank Review

School Library Journal

Gr all levelsPenguin's production amplifies the fact that A.A. Milne has created some of the most memorable poetry and prose in children's literature. Charles Kuralt narrates all the tapes. When We Were Very Young resounds with Kuralt's lively reading of the nonsensical and onomatopoetic rhymes that fill the heads of toddlers. Opposite these poems, the narrator reads, with loving care, the verses about the real and imaginary playmates that warm youngsters' hearts. Now We Are Six reflects the growing complexity of a child's world. The narrator's voice is soft and vulnerable when reading of the innocent, inquisitive thoughts that preoccupy children, yet Kuralt speaks with a touch of exasperation when reading the poems depicting the young's struggle to understand the adult world. He does equally as well with Milne's stories. All the inhabitants of the Hundred Acre Wood are introduced and their humorous escapades chronicled in Winnie-the-Pooh. While portraying the characters, Kuralt's child-like tone reflects their goodness, innocence, and wee intellect. The House at Pooh Corner continues the adventures of Pooh and introduces the bouncing, pouncing, lovable Tigger. Besides the delight children will experience when listening to the light-hearted, captivating stories, young listeners will also identify with the universal hopes, fears, and wishes of the characters. Kuralt's deep, learned-sounding voice gives the narration a fatherly, comforting feel. Libraries will want to acquire these high quality productions.Mark P. Tierney, William B.

To fully appreciate this dramatization, the listener must never have viewed any of the Disney Pooh cartoons--because here Pooh is not articulated by Sterling Holloway, and none of the other characters sound the same either. With Disney out of mind, the reviewer can determine that Stephen Fry and the other actors do a good job, the music is fine and the audio quality is excellent. But when Jane Horrocks's Piglet appears, even the most tolerant adult listener will want to drag fingernails across a blackboard to drown her out--she is suffocatingly cutesy. No doubt 3-year-olds will like it anyway. D.W. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine
