It's the first day of autumn in the Hundred Acre Woods, the perfect time for "munching on honey" and learning the alphabet in this perfectly paced instructional program. Christopher Robin provides the gentle tutorials by reading from his very own ABC book as Pooh sits by his side. But alas, when Pooh borrows the book to show Piglet, a great wind carries the pages away. With an earnest desire to make amends, Pooh and his friends decide to rewrite the book themselves. While Owl provides the instruction, they start at the beginning, learning to write their names by shaping each letter and learning its sound. A song reinforces the lesson and a delightful surprise at the program's end allows the gang to put their rhyming knowledge to work. While this is not a comprehensive spelling course, viewers will learn that letters have shapes and sounds, understand what makes a word rhyme, and put into practice early letter recognition. A wonderful companion program to Winnie the Pooh 123's. (Ages 2 to 6) --Lynn Gibson

Customer Reviews

Not what we expected. Very boring and disappointing!
We were disappointed with this. We were waiting for them to tackle up the whole alphabet in the movie....but to no avail. My son was not even thrilled with the movie itself (compared to their 123). He looks bored and does a lot of yawning to this. He'd ask for his WTP 123 instead. They just touched on very few letters, which doesn't even emphasize on them well. The Leap Frog Letter Factory is so much better. I would not recommend this especially for beginners. They might think that's all what the alphabet is about. Don't get this. Get the Leap Frog's version instead. But if your child adores Winnie the Pooh so much, get the 123 instead. A 3-star for some great credits like the animations & sounds.

Disappointed-
I bought this video for my 2 1/2 year old because he is very interested in the alphabet. The dvd was a huge disappointment because it didn't deal with letters but focused on rhyming words, etc. Not suitable for my son's age, boring and short. They sing a 60 second song with the alphabet that is an extra feature and that was the only thing he liked. Not a good buy.

Disappointed
Not what I expected at all. The actual show didnt really have to do alot with teaching the letters. You have to go to the special features to get all the letters and it is so boring. The Leap Frog Letter Factory is so much better in my opinion and it also teaches letter sounds not just the letters alone and it does it in such a fun way.
