Pooh's just getting started on his spring cleaning when he comes across a note he can't read. He rotates through his friends looking for help reading the note, but they just read the first two words, "Don't forget . . . ," and all them dicks suddenly remember that they have more important things to do than help Pooh.

My daughter points out that in the end the resolution of the mystery makes the story an exercise in futility that wastes the time of Pooh as well as the reader.

(Pooh Project: Phase 2! I've managed to catalog all the shorter Pooh projects my family owns (see the list here). While I work through few remaining longer Pooh books we own, I'm missing my daily dose of Pooh, so I'm going to start seeking out some of the Pooh books I don't own – yet – from libraries IRL and online. See the reviews here.) ( )
