(3) K-3 Illustrated by Ernest H. Shepard. Readers who love Milne's classic stories will appreciate this reprint of a chapter from The House at Pooh Corner in picture book form. The pictures have been colorized, and a few vignettes have been inserted to supplement the original illustrations, but the text has not been altered. Tigger's first meeting with Pooh and Piglet, as well as the rest of the inhabitants of the Hundred Acre Woods, works well as a stand-alone book.
