Best friends Pooh and Piglet are strolling through
the forest. Pooh has one of his ‘Grand Ideas’. He wants to catch a Heffalump.
Rabbit has told him that Heffalumps eat Piglets. After wondering and pondering
what bait to use in their trap, Piglet suggests honey.
Pooh leaves Piglet to dig the pit and goes to get
the jar. Can Pooh touch honey without having a taste? They set the almost empty
jar in the pit and off they go to get some sleep.
But Pooh can’t sleep. He’s always hungry. He
searches for food but realizes the last of his honey is in the pit. Off he goes
to get it.
Piglet is scared that the Heffalump will get him so
he goes in search of his friend for comfort. But he has to go past the pit to
get to Pooh’s place.
What happens next and what he discovers in the
forest will test their friendship. Will they remain ‘Best Friends Forever’
after this disastrous adventure?
Piglet proves that bravery is not measured by one’s
size; that being small is sometimes better that being big, and that friendship
sets no boundaries.
The gorgeous illustrations stay true to the
originals. Themes of friendship, sharing, and being there for one another,
carry the story. The stunning covers are a delight and tell a story of their
own.
