The title is misleading in that everyone else is getting ready for winter by doing chores but Pooh farms his preparations out to Christopher Robin.

This book is notable to me for the out of the blue introduction of a new character called Chipmunk, with whom Pooh talks as if they have been friends in the Hundred-Acre Wood for years. Did contract negotiations with Gopher break down that year? Is Chipmunk a scab? I'm still waiting for his reappearance.

(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:
