{Summer Reading} Winnie-the-Pooh

July 16, 2012 By Jackie 2 Comments

We finished another book on our summer reading list almost 2 weeks ago but I have been dragging my heals with regards to posting about the book. We started Winnie the Pooh by A.A. Milne about a month ago. While we were no vacation we didn’t read at all, so that meant that we didn’t finish it as quickly as I had hoped.

The main reason I have been reluctant to post about the book is that I was having trouble coming up with an activity to go along with it. My younger kids liked the book and I am glad we read it, but I just wasn’t feeling very inspired.

This morning I started thinking about it and decided I just needed to let it go and realize that not everything I post is going to be the most revolutionary idea or “pin-worthy”. Honestly, why should that matter?

I read the book to my children.

We enjoyed it.

We had quality time spent as a family reading a classic book.

The end.

🙂

Have you ever read this book to your children?

P.S. I almost forgot to share something important about the copy of the book that I read to my children. Check out the inscription.

My grandma worked at a library when I was little. She often ordered books when the library would order them. My cousins, my brother, and I received books for various special occasions when we were young and this book was one of them. Check out that date. I am not sure what occasion it would have been for, but I was 1 year old. (Yikes, I am old. 😉 )

    We have all of those books. They are great reads for sure. I think it’s very special to have books with inscriptions in them. My husband actually has a few autographed copies. It’s cool.

      That’s cool about the autographed copies of books your husband has, Rachel! Yes, the inscriptions are special to me since my grandparents have been gone for several years now.
