Winnie-the-Pooh: Deep Thoughts & Ponderings for the Wise

by A. A. Milne

E. H. Shepard (Illustrator)

'Pooh hasn't much Brain, but he never comes to any harm. He does silly things and they turn out right. There's Owl. Owl hasn't exactly got Brain, but he Knows Things.'

Winnie-the-Pooh may be a Bear of Very Little Brain, but he sometimes has surprisingly astute and helpful observations on life. Full of thingish thoughts and clever plans, this is the perfect gift for deep thinkers and the philosophically inclined. It is part of a brand-new range of Winnie-the-Pooh gift books for adults – a beautifully presented range of four books to collect and enjoy!

Who doesn't love Winnie-the-Pooh? There's just something about Winnie-the-Pooh and his friends Piglet, Rabbit, Tigger, Eeyore, Kanga and Roo - their simple way of thinking, how they get things wrong in funny ways, their clever plans, their bravery and their friendship - that we can't help but fall in love with them.

And that love doesn't go away just because we're not children any more. We still have fond memories of our time with the friends, and their individual personalities. Thankfully, Egmont have published four little quote books especially for adults, the Winnie-the-Pooh: Now We Are Grown Up range, featuring snippets of our favourite The One Hundred Acre Wood inhabitants and what they got up to; Doubt & Disquiet for Worriers, Little Somethings & Smackerels for Food Lovers, Doom & Gloom for Pessimists, and Deep Thoughts and Ponderings for the Wise.

Our silly old bear isn't the brightest, but sometimes, just occasionally, he thinks a thought that makes quite a lot of sense. Then, of course, he just thinks silly things you can't help but laugh over. Deep Thoughts & Ponderings for the Wise gives us not just Pooh's moments of almost-brilliance, but also the not-quite-genius of Owl and Rabbit, too.

Each book takes a look at one specific character, with a few quotes here and there from the others thrown in. These books are adorable and brought many a smile to my face. With Christmas round the corner, they would make perfect gifts. Tailor a book to your friends personalities, or give the book that focuses on their favourite character. Or, if they're a huge fan, give them all! And don't forget to buy one or all four for yourself while you're at!

Thank you to Egmont for the review copy.
