Health is a big sell in publishing today. Everyone, from Jane Fonda to
Victoria Principal, has published a book or a tape or something on being
healthy.
And now we have the ultimate in excercise books, from our dear friend
Winnie the Pooh. Pooh's Workout Book (By Ethan Mordden, E.P. Dutton, Inc,
$10.95, 170 pages) is an interesting switch on literary criticism-- it
isn't about excercises nearly as much as it is about Milne and his
creations-- excercises in the world of Pooh are much different than in the
rest of the world. A fresh exploration into the world many of us enjoy,
this book captures very nicely what IS Pooh. It is written quite closely to
the originals, and Mordden obviously knows the material, sucessfully
bringing the flavor forward that makes Pooh Pooh. Very enjoyable, very
literate, and highly recommended to anyone who enjoys spending an evening
with the Bear and his friends...
