A poor adaptation of a short story from Lessons from the Hundred-Acre Wood: Stories, Verse & Wisdom by Hallie Marshall and John Kurtz that is in turn a flawed adaptation of the Disney short film, Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too, which is already an adaptation of A. A. Milne's The House at Pooh Corner Chapter Four: "In Which It Is Shown That Tiggers Don't Climb Trees." It's the telephone game, Disney style!

So Tigger still gets stuck in a tree, and as in Milne's story he gets to come down without making the empty promise about never bouncing again that Rabbit tries to hold him to as shown in the Disney film. Instead, after Tigger's down, Rabbit goes around saying he wants to start a petition to stop Tigger's bouncing, but someone stands up to him and that puts a stop to it. The author tries to fix something that's not broken in order to squeeze in some sort of David and Goliath moral. Ugh.

In this little book, the pictures from Marshall's book get shrunk, sentences get deleted, and a few pages get shuffled around. Not a great reading experience, really.

(My Pooh Project: I love Winnie the Pooh, and so does my wife. Having a daughter gave us a chance to indoctrinate her into the cult by buying and reading her every Pooh book we came across. How many is that? I’m going to count them this year by reading and reviewing one every day and seeing which month I finally run out. Track my progress here:
