Pooh is jealous that everyone else has a favorite place so -- perhaps forgetting his Thoughtful Spot or the Honey Tree -- he sets out to find his own, only to get lost. When things are put aright again, he has one of the sappiest realizations I've had the misfortune to read aloud.

Barbara Gaines Winkelman gets her second strike and is shaping up to be one of my least favorite Pooh writers. And the usually reliable Robin Cuddy turns in some oddly drawn faces on Pooh this go round, with lots of unnecessary lines around the snout.

(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:
