Christopher Robin



This book review was kind of hard to write. I liked this book very much and hated this book for the very same reasons.

-The writing was childlike. It was so simple and there was no description. There were just words inked on a page/ It's simplicity gave off the most childlike vibe and it made my imagination run wild with how many things I got to dress up.

-The storyline was predictable. From the very beginning of the book I knew how this story was going to end. / The simplicity of just being whisked away in the book and not worrying about plot twists or keeping track of things that maybe was foreshadowing something.

- Everything was perfectly peachy in the ending/ The ending that we all crave, The ending where everything is butterflies and rainbows. The ending that distracts us from life's hard trials and tribulations.

- Unrealistic. This could never happen.....ever/ Disney's magic always leaves us hoping that even though we know it can't that these stories will come true.

-No opening/lead for a second book. I understand that there are people that are saying, "Why would you want a second one? It doesn't need one....." But there are so many other adventures adult Christopher Robin can go on with his Hundred Acre Friends. After all no one gets a second chance to make new old friends.

When I was thinking about all these negative thoughts while reading keeping this review in mind. I needed to remind myself that this was in fact a children's book, a children's story. I think that's why it might have been hard for me to decipher which thing were actually pros and cons because there is still a child inside of me when I read these Disney books and watch Disney movies filled with innocence and the same old Disney magic.

Overall I was really excited when this book/movie was released and did enjoy revisiting Pooh and the gang through the words and am excited to see the movie
