About This Book
Crunching leaves and strange groans fill the air, but it’s not the wind whispering through the trees. As the Hundred Acre Wood grows eerily silent, Pooh and his friends face something they've never imagined—zombies! Can a little honey and a lot of heart keep them safe when the forest forgets how to stay alive?
