  1. 01

    The House at Pooh Corner

    Start at departure

    By A. A. Milne · read by Peter Dennis

    3 hr 13 min · checked ages 5–17

    Library first. Story Before Arrival may earn a commission if you use the Audible link.

    Tigger joins Pooh's circle, a search goes awry, and the friends reach a quiet goodbye at the edge of childhood.

    Edition notes and sources

    Evidence limit: Common Sense Media evaluates the complete four-work text at age 5+ and calls the original Pooh books a delight for children and adults; the Christian Science Monitor separately supports the same Peter Dennis audio performance for families. The age cap of 17 is the product's upper input limit. Apple displays 3:13 while Audible displays 3:12, so the longer exact runtime is used. A search, a fall from a tree, an effort to curb Tigger's bouncing, and the final goodbye occur; no complete scene-level or sound-effects audit was performed.

  2. 02

    The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse

    Switch after 3 hr 13 min of listening

    By Charlie Mackesy · read by Charlie Mackesy

    58 min · checked ages 6–17

    Library first. Story Before Arrival may earn a commission if you use the Audible link.

    Four companions move through the countryside in a quiet sequence of conversations about kindness, fear, asking for help, and finding home.

    Edition notes and sources

    Evidence limit: BookTrust places the work at interest age 6-11 and says its appeal reaches from children to adults; 17 is the site's upper shared-listening input. The audio is episodic and aphoristic rather than a conventional plotted story, and the source work includes fear and a fox caught in a snare. The professional audio review says music and wildlife sound compensate for missing illustrations, but no complete line-level or effects audit was available; an empty controlled-tag list is not evidence of absence.
