Books like Disney's Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day

9/6/16Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day by A.A. Milne is a picture book with a recording for children of all ages but probably more likely for children 7 to 10 years old. Basically the story is about the events that occur on windy day in the Hundred Acre Wood to Winnie the Pooh and his friends. I gave the book a 5-star rating because of the characters, plot and great illustrations. The characters were funny and identifiable. The windy rainy day was the villain and the characters in their own way were all the heroes. Because it is a windy day the illustrations did a good job at depicting how the grass, trees and leaves would appear on a windy day. Furthermore, the recording provided emphasis to the what appears in the book. Many of the words that were spoken were written as a child might say it such as “Windsday” for it being a windy day or for it being Wednesday depending on how you the reader looks at it (Milne, 1978). The illustrations also offered perspective. For instance, when Pooh and Piglet were blown up to Owl’s house the illustration places the reader at a point of view as though below the house and it looks like Pooh and Piglet have been blown above the reader. This book along with the recording would definitely be appealing to young readers because the events of the windy day were interesting and made you want to continue to read to see the outcome of the day.
