A little lacking in Smack. . .


"The House at Pooh Corner" introduces us to our stuffed hero, Pooh, a teddy bear that belongs to a young boy named Christopher Robin. We also find a fussy Piglet, cynical Eeyore, a rambunctious Tiger, and a clever Rabbit, all living in the Hundred Acre Wood.

The book is full of not-quite-correct language that young children often use.

Reacting to the dutiful applause of his friends after reciting a poem, Eeyore says: "Unexpected and gratifying, if a little lacking in Smack."

Read a bit of Pooh's Corner to your kids and grands...you'll get more than a little Smack as you enter the lives of these wonderful friends.
