Kanga can't get Roo to settle down for the night so she recruits the other residents of the Hundred-Acre Wood to tell him bedtime stories. The stories are cute and reflect the personality of the teller. Pooh tells of the land of honey from the Winnie the Pooh movie that came out at the same time as this book. Piglet imagines being brave. Eeyore tells a delightfully sad vignette. Rabbit spins a version of the "Ant and the Grasshopper" that is very pro-ant.

It's very wordy for a board book, but the individual stories provide good chapter breaks if you don't want to read the whole thing at once with your child.

(My Pooh Project: I love Winnie the Pooh, and so does my wife. Having a daughter gave us a chance to indoctrinate her into the cult by buying and reading her every Pooh book we came across. How many is that? I’m going to count them this year by reading and reviewing one every day and seeing which month I finally run out. Track my progress here:

We bought our daughter this book for her 1st birthday, because her name is Rue. In this book, all of little Roo's friends come over to tell him a bedtime story, because he can't fall asleep! There are a ton of mini stories throughout this book, and it is the perfect bedtime read. ( )

As a teacher, I want to have my own library with lots of books that students will enjoy with all different kinds of characters. I would put this book in my classroom for students to read. ( )
