Public Domain Pooh!

A short picture book told in very poor verse has Pooh getting stuck in a honey pot and his friends helping him get out.

Worse than the words is the art, which my daughter assures me is A.I. generated. Pooh is depicted much too closely to the trademarked Disney version, while the rest of the characters look nowhere close to Ernest Shepard's original versions. For instance, this picture is supposed to show Eeyore, Kanga, and Roo (the fourth character is not mentioned in the text):

All the pictures are off from the text, i.e., depicting Pooh out of the pot when he's still supposed to be stuck in it. (In theory, Pooh is in the pot above.) The art style and character designs are different in each illustration.

Amateurish and awful.

(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:
