This authorized history of Pooh is okay in its bland, corporate way. It's amusing to read it as a complement to Brian Sibley's Three Cheers for Pooh: The Best Bear in All the World as that book lingers on the Milne family and only mentions Walt Disney once parenthetically. Meanwhile, this book rushes past Milne in the first chapter and spends the rest of the book giving the history of Disney's four Pooh short films, showing tons of art and behind-the-scenes sketches from the productions, and recapping the plots of the films (with unintended humor from some odd word choice decisions).

(My Pooh Project: I love Winnie the Pooh, and so does my wife. Having a daughter gave us a chance to indoctrinate her into the cult by buying and reading her every Pooh book we came across. How many is that? I’m going to count them this year by reading and reviewing one every day and seeing which month I finally run out. Track my progress here:
