Anyone who missed Winnie the Pooh as a child probably grew up to mistreat small animals or big ones in the case of safari hunters.
The heresy is another author is continuing the series and my horror is the same as if someone wrote a sequel to "The Wind in the Willows," the book I loved the most as a child. (CNN: Winnie-the-Pooh gets a new friend)
How about "Mister Toad's Wild Ride ... in a Spaceship?"
Aiiiyyyeeee ... I can't continue. Don't mess with Mister Toad!
The Penguin will be the new friend for Winnie the Pooh and that's fine but presuming to write in the same style as A.A. Milne is a bit ambitious and considering advancing that style is barefaced arrogance.
It's bloody heresy, I tell you!
Herewith a story about Mister Toad as the tradition in my family which my ol' Dad was starting with me was we must read "The Wind in the Willows" to earn our first watch. There are all manner of life lessons in that exercise but the best for me was the one from Mister Toad. All my life I have loved wild rides ... regrettably, I often crash them ... but I digress.
The part of the exercise which might have gone better was the presentation of the watch as that came on my birthday some time in the middle- to late-fifties. During the family party to celebrate, a huge box was brought in front of me and the size of it grows with every year.
Right away, that greedy lil bastard which was me started thinking, man, there must be a circus or at least a motorcycle in the box.
But inside that box was another smaller box and likely you're there already that this was like one of those Russian dolls which contain progressively smaller versions of themselves until the final tiny one is revealed. (WIKI: Matryoshka doll)
Original babushka dolls from 1892.
The final box was the one with the watch and my ol' Dad had delivered on his word but any greedy lil savage will be disappointed at that stage even if there's a key to Charlize Theron's gorgeous heart, even more so if the kid is a girl.
Moral to Parents: don't ever do this to a kid as understand they're greedy miserable varmints and hope someday they will grow out of it.
See, no politics (larfs).
(Ed: sure that's here as it's the Politics of Pooh!)
Now you're just begging for politics!

The Winnie the Pooh franchise was sold to Disney. It is now PC and worthless compared to A.A.s
