Three book reviews
Winnie the Pooh's Sleepytime Hum
I imagine that, at some point, the people who own the rights to Winnie the Pooh got together and said: "Hey, now that A.A. Milne is dead, let's write more stories using his characters, only without any trace of wit or heart." Mission accomplished!
Baby Fozzie Visits the Doctor
Naturally, Baby Fozzie is apprehensive about a visit to the doctor. But once he gets there, he discovers that the doctor is a hilarious man who wears joke glasses (with a funny nose and mustache!) and who, when the examination is over, allows Baby Fozzie to select a toy from a special prize box. This book does a terrific job of creating realistic expectations for young children regarding medical care.
More!
A shrill, demanding boy stomps upstairs when one of his many, many demands isn't met. Then a talking lion whisks him away to a magical world where all his dreams come true. Later, he returns to his home and his mother gives him a big hug. Moral: Act like a jerk and everything will turn out just super.
