Review:
I grew up loving anything Winnie-the-Pooh, whether that be the books, movies, or television shows. His adventures are wholesome, funny, and nostalgic for me. This graphic novel adaptation created by Kevan Chandler and Joe Sutphin is a wonderful take on the original book by A. A. Milne. The illustrations fit so well with this world and the story was adapted perfectly into this medium by Kevan Chandler.
Joe Sutphin's illustrations were stunning. I love how there are many background details in the scenes such as when Pooh is stuck in Rabbit's front door. These stories are so well known at this point and I believe this does a great job of representing them and each of the characters. The character designs were perfect takes on them. I particularly loved the design of Eeyore and Piglet, though they all were great.
Winnie-the-Pooh: The Graphic Novel would be a great addition to any home library, whether you have been a fan of this silly old bear for years or are new to his stories. It is a great book to come out around Winnie-the-Pooh's hundredth birthday (October 14th). As a life-long Pooh Bear fan, I cannot recommend this graphic novel enough. I hope both Kevan Chandler and Joe Suphin adapt the next book in the Winnie-the-Pooh series.
*Thank you to Ten Speed Press, Kevan Chandler, Joe Sutphin, and NetGalley for my ARC of this wonderful graphic novel. All opinions are my own.*
