A fun run through the alphabet has cute little poems and terrific pictures for each letter. This just makes me happy.

"B is for Bears: Some bears growl, / Some bears snort, / But Pooh Bear is / The humming sort."

(My Pooh Project: I love Winnie the Pooh, and so does my wife. Having a daughter gave us a chance to indoctrinate her into the cult by buying and reading her every Pooh book we came across. How many is that? I’m going to count them this year by reading and reviewing one every day and seeing which month I finally run out. Track my progress here:

Nice illustrations, decent alphabet tie-ins, but failed to hold the interest of my toddler class.

I loved the way poems were written for each letter without the usual pandering or cheese heaped on small children. my daughter loves to hear them while she examines the pictures and points out the way the poem matches the picture.

Really enjoyed the short poems.

Generally good rhymes that match with content from Winnie-the-Pooh. Fat shaming shows up in letter S which may be an issue for some. Illustrations are good overall.

Winnie the Pooh's A to Zzzz (1992) is an alphabet book written by Don Ferguson and illustrated by Bill Langley and Diane Wakeman that utilizes the many characters of the beloved Winnie the Pooh franchise to help developing minds identify, sound out and hear words that begin with each letter of the alphabet. Each letter occupies a single page of the book (except for letters E, L and U, which occupy two pages each), each letter stands for a word, each word comes with a short rhyme about said word (rhyme scheme usually in the form of ABCB) and each rhyme gets an accompanying cartoon drawing that correlates to the word/rhyme. A weakness is that the last word isn't a word (Zzzz) but a sound/noise indicator and some rhyme schemes/word choices can be questionable, but that's just the critical adult in me thinking. I believe most children wouldn't care and would probably find the words funny and/or okay. It should be instantly engaging as Winnie the Pooh is still a large character and franchise for many young children. The book should be read to Pre-K students and can be read independently by K-1 students for learning the alphabet or just for fun.

This is an adorable rhyming book for young children. It's great for encouraging letter recognition. My 3-K class listened intently. The illustrations are beautifully done. I would have liked for the rhyming to flow a little more smoothly but this is definitely a keeper!

“F is for footprints…They always show us where we’ve been, but never where we’re going.”

I really enjoyed this! It’s written in sweet rhyming poetry and goes through the alphabet with beloved Winnie the Pooh characters.

I liked it when Winnie and the Pooh made a xylophone out of his honey pots.

[Suzie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Disney books usually drive me nuts, but the rhymes in this were really good and I think it was a good book for my five year old who is learning his letters and sounds.

A fun way to teach the alphabet!

Cute book! It has the fun lovable illustrations from the Hundred Acre Woods. I liked how it not only has the alphabet but the book encompasses rhyme too.

A walk through the alphabet, AND it rhymes, AND it features our good friend Pooh, AND it ends with him going down for a snooze. What could be better? 🍯

Winnie the Pooh's A to Zzzz
by Don Ferguson

(Alphabet Book)

In this cute alphabet book the characters of Winnie the Pooh come together to help teach the alphabet to young readers. From A to Zzzz Winnie the Pooh and his friends Piglet, Eeyore, Tigger, the owl and rabbit help to get young children to learn their ABCs. "S is for seesaw.. Never make a seesaw date with a bear who's overweight! The picture also uses rhyming techniques to talk about the different letters of the alphabet and what word the beginning letter stands for. I think this book is perfect for children ages 3-5. I would definitely recommend this book to any Early Childhood Education majors and also to parents of young children who are trying to teach them the alphabet. Besides.. who doesn't love Winnie the Pooh?

Synopsis: "Each letter is accompanied by a cheerful rhyme, as Winnie the Pooh, Eeyore, Tigger, and other Hundred-Acre Wood friends charm their way through the alphabet."

My Review: This was a surprisingly good book, I wasn't sure how it would go as a lot of the ABC books that I have come across are rather disappointing. This book was great, the familiar characters and illustrations, the same simple rhyme that Pooh comes up with and it encourages letter sounds. Munchkin had a really good time reading this book along with me, even sounded out some of the words for me.

Another ABC book. This is the first one I've read recently where it says, "A is for..." Most of the other recent alphabet books have just had A. Then something like "Apples are..." Anyways, I liked it because saying the letter is written into the story. Then each page has a mini poem about each word that begins with that letter. Plus, it's Winnie the Pooh, and I love Disney and Winnie the Pooh!

[Skylar Burris · Rating 2 out of 5]

By the time my child had the attention span to follow the verse rhymes for each letter, she had largely learned her alphabet already, so we didn't read this one much. She did enjoy looking at the letters and pictures at a young age, however.

The poems that accompany each letter make this a much more engaging alphabet reading experience. The whole family loves this alphabet book. Get more in the Reading Tub review.

I love Winnie the Pooh and all his friends so an ABC book describing events in the Hundred Acre Wood is a book I know I would love.

My favorite letter is: "E is for Eeyore."

Eeyore's gray,
Although it's true,
He's frequently
A little blue.

Pre-k and Kindergarten.
Good for learning ABC's! Letters are BIG on each page so that every child can see. GFreat examples of words starting with that letter. great illustrations.

Oh no Pooh!

[Findlay Pennekamp · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great read. A to Z is both suspenseful and original, and the poetry and character that goes along on each page is superb.

Of course, the read would go better with a little pot of honey...

So I wound up having to wait somewhere without a book and I saw this on the kid's table and that's how I ended up choosing my first book of 2018 😂

Really, though, I loved this. So adorable! And the poems were really cute and really good. My favorites were E is for Eeyore, I is for Ice Skates, O is for Owl, and V is for Vest. Although you have to admire the creativity of Pooh creating a honeypot instrument for X is for Xylophone.
