Well... it's down to personal taste. And I'll agree that there's something slightly inconsitent about being a massive Potter fan in my 30s but hating Pooh - to a lot of people I know there is no difference at all.
But that aside, I find Winnie-the-pooh sickly sweet, pointless, cutesy and also I dislike books that are sending a twee, clever-clever message to the adult readership over the heads of the child audience, who remain baffled.
It's not childhood for children, it's childhood for adults - and childhood lite.

No icon can describe the awfulness of Winne the Pooh
