Eeyore's (Mis)adventures

0.0

In the Hundred Acre Wood, adventures and accidents abound: tails are lost, birthdays are forgotten, daring expeditions are organized, and one very bouncy animal causes lots of hilarious trouble. Often at the center of the action is the much-loved donkey Eeyore, who always seems to get the short end of the Poohstick, but stoically weathers each calamity with humor and curmudgeonly charm. Perfect for the pessimist in all of us, here is a storybook made up of five complete stories from the A. A. Milne classics, with Ernest H. Shepard's illustrations reproduced in striking full color. Readers of every age will be amused by Eeyore's glum predictions and enlightened by his tried-and-true techniques for overcoming life's sudden turns for the worst.
