Received my copy out of the blue today, so we read it at bedtime.

The storyline is basically that Pooh decides he wants to go on a Heffalump hunt, Piglet's not too sure as Heffalump are apparently quite partial to piglets but Pooh persuades him so he agrees. There's a pit to be dug, and honey to be fetched, and you can probably guess which one poor Piglet gets lumped with, and what happens to the honey. There's a bit of a twist that I won't spoil, but it all ends happily ever after.

There's a lovely message about friendship, and the illustrations are beautiful.

DS is only just 2, and is mostly into diggers and trains which were sadly lacking from the story, but he really enjoyed talking about the animals in the different scenes.

In all, it's a very worthy addition to our library and will probably be one of my favourites to read.
