A. Milne has made himself the humble chronicler, and Mr. E. H. Shepard the understanding illustrator, of the adventures of Christopher Robin and his teddy bear, is the ideal gift book.”, Sheffield Daily Telegraph, 9th December 1926“… a book that children will adore, and that their elders will pick up by stealth and read zestfully to the very end.”, The Aberdeen Press and Journal, 9th December 1926“Written with a lively fancy and a delicate literary sense, these adventures are sure of a warm welcome in the nursery.”, The Scotsman, 9th December 1926“Dialogue and situations such as these must have been as delightful to invent as they are delightful to read. And to have one’s fancies so delicately caught by the artistry of Mr. E. H. Shepard – that must have been another delight, which does not come to every author.”, The Sketch, 12th January 1927
