On cover: Pooh goes visiting.
Title on slipcase: Pooh goes visiting.
Blue cloth-bound paperback with cardboard cut-out characters of Christopher Robin, Rabbit, Piglet, Rabbit's friends and relations, two Pooh figures (one fatter after eating honey) and a hole in which Pooh gets stuck. these itmes are issued in a box (designed to be two stage sets) and inserted into a slipcase made to resemble a book. The book contains the following instructions on use: 'You commence by arranging the scenes, as the Story itself indicates, then, for the youngest, Mother or Nurse reads the story and places the characters in front of the scene, as they arrive in the story. Soon, quite young children enjoy and are able to do this. Older children, however, speak the parts themselves whilst moving the characters, and the best time of all comes when they are able to act the Story by themselves, discarding the little figures entirely and using the scene to indicate the locality. Step by step, if care is taken, the youngest children can be introduced to the joys of 'Let's pretend'. What could be more comforting than to be for once Darling Pooh himself (with honey), or more dignified than to be the famous Christopher Robin?'
"This play is based on chapters II and VII of Winnie-the-Pooh by A. A. Milne" -- t.p. verso.
23 pages.
