Walt Disney Winnie-the-Pooh #20
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "The Mountain King," Pooh’s peaceful day in the Hundred Acre Wood takes a whimsical turn when Piglet accidentally breaks the tree branch that serves as the wood’s sundial, throwing off everyone’s routine. With the winds stronger than usual, Pooh sets off on a honey-hunting balloon flight that carries him far beyond the familiar trees—up into the Wall Mountains, where he rescues a pack rat from a wolverine but finds himself stranded on the other side, far from home. Written by Vic Lockman and brought to life with warm, expressive art by John Carey (pencils, inks, and letters), this 1980 Western Publishing issue captures the quiet charm and gentle adventure of the Hundred Acre Wood, with Carey’s cover completing the nostalgic package.
When the Hundred Acre Wood’s timekeeper—Big Twig—gets accidentally broken off its tree by Piglet, Pooh sets off on his honey hunting balloon flight too late, caught in stronger winds than usual. Swept far beyond the familiar woods, he tumbles into the shadow of the Wall Mountains, where he rescues a pack rat from a wolverine—only to realize he’s stranded on the other side, with no way back home.
When an arctic tern suddenly crashes into the Hundred Acre Wood, claiming to be overwhelmed by the heat, Pooh and his friends spring into action—feeding the bewildered bird chilled ice cream made by hand-cranked machine. As the odd guest settles in, questions arise: is the tern truly from the far north, or is something more unusual afoot? With the help of the family of squirrels, a raccoon, a fox, and a branch-full of birds, the Wood’s residents begin to wonder if this feathered visitor might be hiding more than just a little warmth.
