Media today 53

Reading: Max Kruse, Urmel aus dem Eis, ch. 30; A.A. Milne, Pu der Bär. Gesamtausgabe, 147-148 ("Anxious Pooh Song"/"Besorgtes Pu-Lied"), 253 (scene from "Pooh-Sticks"/"Pu-Stöcke").

Pooh is one of J's (and my wife's) great favorites and he knows whole stories & chapters practically by heart. 



Since there's so much idiomatic language-play, not all of it comes across well in German translation (the above song for example), but nonetheless J really enjoys it and it's great language practice because, since he already knows the stories so well, the meandering, rather complex and periodic sentences are no problem and he gets accustomed to that level of discourse in German.
