I'd hardly lump the Narnia Series in with pop books. The original publication date for
The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe was 1950. I'd also add that it is a well-crafted allegory of Christ's sacrifice.
I have a fondness for fantasy of this sort and reread the series from time to time. I can understand that you may not like it for its Christian message or you may not like it because it is essentially a children's book. But I wouldn't call it 'pop'.
Writing this post reminded me that I haven't read "The World of Pooh" since my kids were little.
