Tigger bounces around his friends as they do chores without so much as making an offer to help them. Instead he bounces up a little treat to give them once they finish their chores on their own. Tigger claims he does this because he's a good friend, but I think a good friend would pitch in.

At least Tigger and his bouncing are the best fit for this Peek-a-Boo format where readers can make the main figure bounce up and down throughout the book. But his ears are made out of cloth for some show more reason despite the rest of his face being paper, and they look bad, like the end of orange sandwich wraps with too much mustard inside.

Pooh's hungry, so he follows a bee through the Hundred-Acre Wood, passing some of his friends, until he comes across some honey. The nothing story is supposed to be enhanced by a gimmick that let's you pull a tab at the bottom of the book to make the Pooh figure "pop in and out of each scene . . . " It doesn't really add much, and the text doesn't really suggest why Pooh would be popping in or out, or up or down, in any given moment.

I also don't understand why Pooh's ears -- and only his show more ears -- are covered with a fuzzy fabric. Weird.

Eeyore is sad that all his friends are too busy to spend time with him, but all is well when a not-at-all surprising little twist comes at the end.

It's sort of fun to have the Eeyore figure sadly sink out of the scene when his invitation to play is rejected, and you can make him do a twitchy little dance when he gets happy. But the soft ears are out of place and look a little silly when they shoot straight up as the figure is pulled down into the book.

Piglet befriends a caterpillar at a picnic with Pooh, Roo, and Eeyore, and spends the book trying to find it something to eat. Ho-hum.

As with the other books in this series, the Piglet figure can pop up and down and has cloth ears. The story doesn't really give him any reason to go up and down, but at least the ears don't look as bad as they did on Pooh and Eeyore since Piglet's always had a two-tone contrast with his face.

The final page has an unfortunate placement of the caterpillar, show more giving Piglet a happy little green penis.
