i think the classic pooh stories have to be some of my all-time favorites. a. a. milne has such a way with words, and they are especially entertaining when matt reads them aloud in all of the different character voices. :) here are a few quotes from Winnie the Pooh that just make me smile. from chapter 2: Pooh has gotten himself stuck in Rabbit's front door and he cannot budge. Here, Christopher Robin is informing him that he will have to go without meals until they can get him unstuck...
"I'm afraid no meals." said Christopher Robin, "because of getting thin quicker. But we will read to you."
Bear began to sigh, and then found he couldn't because he was so tightly stuck; and a tear rolled down his eye, as he said:
"Then would you read a Sustaining Book, such as would help and comfort a Wedged Bear in Great Tightness?"
from chapter 4: Pooh comes to Owl for wisdom regardaring how to find Eeyore's lost tail...
"Well," said Owl, "the customary procedure in such cases is as follows."
"What does Crustimoney Proseedcake mean?" said Pooh. "For I am a Bear of Very Little Brain, and long words Bother me."
from chapter 7: Pooh is asking Owl to help him write something... "Because my spelling is Wobbly. It's good spelling but it Wobbles, and the letters get in the wrong places."
