Our view
“The House at Pooh Corner” is a gentle, funny set of stories that works as well read aloud to a child as reread by an adult. A. A. Milne’s second and last Pooh book brings in Tigger, and E. H. Shepard’s drawings belong to it as much as the words. Each chapter is an innocent adventure that sets children asking questions. Read straight after the first book, it is harder going for some readers.
