Ugh. The first Bruce Talkington book in my Pooh Project. His are among my least favorite books about Pooh.

This one shows little imagination. Told in couplets, it has Pooh waking up and eating some honey. He wonders if it is the first day of spring, so he wanders around the Hundred-Acre Wood and meets up with all his friends one by one as he explores his hypothesis. In the end he concludes he is correct and eats some more honey. All that's missing is a "Welcome Spring" party with all the friends in attendance to be the epitome of the most cliched Pooh story in existence.

(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:
