Ann Braybrooks is a pretty consistently decent Pooh writer, and this book is another win for her, if a bit odd.

Eeyore wakes up the morning of the Hundred-Acre Wood talent show with a drizzling raincloud hanging over him. He decides to withdraw from the show, but his friends convince him to at least stay and watch in his own damp little corner of the audience. Everyone gets their own act, but I liked Rabbit's and Kanga's best. And just when Christopher Robin is about to declare everyone a winner and give out participation trophies all around, there's a nice little twist for Eeyore. It's purely nonsensical, sure, but nice all the same.

(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:

Yes I read this little book. Yes it's a book for very young children. So what, Eeyore is cool ( )

Eeyore wakes up one beautiful sunny morning with a rain cloud over his head. Eeyore, who likes to be gloomy, had hoped to wake up happy on this particular day because he was going to participate in the talent show that Christopher Robin is hosting. See what happens to turn this day around.
