Winnie-the-Pooh and Some Bees by A.A. Milne

Winnie-the-Pooh attempts to gather some honey from the bee's nest with the help of a balloon and Christopher Robin. Beautiful illustrations accompany this unsuccessful adventure to get the honey.

This is an adapted story from the larger Winnie-the-Pooh book and the illustrations appear to me to be more appealing and childlike than the Disney edition. This book was just the right length for a child learning to read or preschool age. I suppose that is why it was adapted into a standalone edition. A. A. Milne, writing for Winnie-the-Pooh, has an original voice that I haven't read anywhere else. Very enjoyable!
