I will admit that I never read Winnie-the-Pooh as a child. I was also never exposed to any of the super-disneyfied merchandising and such. As a teenager, I did read The Tao of Pooh and enjoyed it, but of course, missed all the context that the book actually referred to. So I ended up buying a copy of The Complete Tales of Winnie-the-Pooh to read to Bowen.
