Reviews

[Rod Brown · Rating 2 out of 5]

The Pooh friends slowly come to the realization that Tigger has been missing for "several days" and immediately go into a group guilt spiral/shame competition as to who is most responsible for finally driving his annoying ass away before realizing they could at least maybe make a token effort to go looking for his rotting corpse or something instead of just making it all about themselves.

What has actually happened to Tigger is of course absolutely ridiculous and almost-but-not-quite cute enough to save the book.

(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:

Tigger's friends drive him away because of his bouncy antics and then realize that he has stopped bouncing in the Hundred Acre Woods. They search for him high and low to apologize and welcome him back into the fold. There is a little nonsensical plot twist but it wouldn't be a Pooh story without a bit of nonsense. The illustrations look like screenshots of a cartoon movie instead of the hand drawn illustrations for this particular book.
