WINNIE-THE-POOH: 100TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION, by A. A. Milne and Ernest H. Shepard, Aladdin, Jan. 6, 2026, paperback, $10.99 (ages 3-8)
Everyone’s favorite bear is turning 100. To celebrate the anniversary, Aladdin has released special bind-up edition of A. A. Milne’s Winnie-the-Pooh and The House at Pooh Corner.
The story of the honey-loving, bumbling bear Winnie-the-Pooh has been a staple in children’s libraries since its original publication in the 1900s. Venture into the Hundred Acre Wood and join sweet Pooh, understanding Christopher Robin, timid Piglet, downcast Eeyore, impatient Rabbit, loquacious Owl, loving Kanga and Roo, and bold Tigger on their exploits.
In each chapter they have a new adventure, from searching for honey or celebrating birthdays to hunting Heffalumps or navigating a flood. Complete with the original black and white interior illustrations by Ernest Shepard, this edition is the perfect way to experience the children’s classic that has captured imaginations for the past century. —Synopsis provided by Aladdin
Winnie-the-Pooh was one of the first chapter books I read aloud to my daughter when she was little, and it will always hold a soft spot in my heart. This new edition features the same loveable story (along with The House at Pooh Corner) ensconced in a flocked cover that’s soft to the touch. It’s a tactile element that’s sure to make the story just a little bit more special for a new generation of fans.
