That is too funny. I am reading a set of Pooh books to my five year old. She loves them! The characters fit a lot of individuals you may know or meet.
It's interesting to learn that the Pooh books are read in the US - I was brought up on them as a little boy in England, and Iive always thought of them as quintessentially English, not readily transferrable to other cultures (especially the delicate, whimsical humour). But I suppose the underlying themes are timeless and placeless.
