Unfortunately the 1969 hardback edition is out of print, as I want one for a Xmas present and I can't bear to part with my son's that I gave him in 1975. The recipes easily engage children to try new foods, to get into the kitchen, and to read aloud while cooking. The preludes to each recipe transport you to the magical mindset of Pooh. And, understandably so, the final recipe is one for "getting thin". A must have in the cookbook collection for any age as the preludes are meant to be wondered out loud, as Pooh so often does!
