Winnie the Pooh and Tigger Too

by Stephanie Calmenson

Tigger is always bouncing in on Winnie the Pooh and his other friends in the Hundred-Acre Wood when they least expect it. But when Tigger bounces Rabbit off his feet one too many times, Rabbit decides to do something about it. He comes up with a plan to unbounce Tigger and enlists Pooh and Piglet to help. It isn't long, however, before Rabbit realizes that bouncing is one of the most wonderful things about Tigger.

Winnie the Pooh stories always have awesome themes and lessons that are great for a classroom setting. Themes like teamwork, friendship, and persistence are portrayed in this story.

Several of these books have the same basic story but written differently.

Tigger (and Rabbit) learn important lessons...it is far better to talk to each other instead of trying to trick each into changing. Timeless lessons presented in a simple way.

In this book Winnie the Pooh was walking to go see Piglet, and Tigger came bouncing by. Tigger was going to Rabbit's house. And Tigger bounced on Pooh. I liked this book because Pooh and Piglet and Rabbit were hiding in a log after they left Tigger in the woods. Then Tigger came on top of the log. It was not scary. Tigger got stuck on a tree and Tigger came down and Rabbit said no more bouncing. And Tigger said he was not going to bounce anymore and Rabbit was not being nice. -by Felicity

Winnie the Pooh and Tiger too is a delightful story about a tiger named Tiger that loves to bounce. He bounced so much that his friends get upset and devise a plan to stop him from bouncing. They decide to take him on a long walk and lose him. They thought he would become so sad and lose his bounce. While taking him out into the forest the other's get lost and its up to Tiger to help them and to save the day. At the end of the book Tiger gets stuck in a tree and needs help from his friends.

A very cute story! Tigger is my favorite character that's in it.

[Kelly Powell]

This book was definitely one of my favorites growing up because I loved everything Winnie The Pooh! I was so excited to find this book and to read it again. This would be a great read aloud so that the different voices could be used for the different characters that most know. I also enjoyed the use of descriptive words to teach the reader and they are used twice most of the time to practice the word once and to sound it out and then to read it again.

This story is sure to entertain any child and has been a very popular and beloved tale for many children for years. I love how the story is shown through its detailed illustrations because it does have a lot of words for a children's picturebook. However, it introduces many different sentence structures and is great for discussing storytelling within the classroom.

Winnie the Pooh has always been the kids favorite character since i was a kid over ten years ago. In this particular story, Winnie and Tigger go on an adventure to try to find there friend in the woods. With great pictures and vocabulary, the kids will be well entertained.

PB 40: This book is great for showing children that you should accept others for who they are. Rabbit did not like Tigger's bouncing, but when he finally got him to stop bouncing he realized that he likes the bouncy Tigger better. Great lesson with classic characters.

The story begins with Tigger bouncing into Pooh, who is in the Hundred Acre Wood contemplating the day ahead. Pooh, who was on his way to see Piglet, is far from pleased but Tigger moves on undaunted.

And he goes on to bounce into Piglet, who exclaims, Tigger, you sc-sc-sc-scared me!' Tigger was unconcerned and continues on his way to bounce Rabbit who is enjoying a quiet morning in his garden. Tigger bounced right on top of him, a movement that draws the comment from Rabbit, 'Wny don't you ever stop bouncing?'

The three of them decide to come up with a plan to "unbounce" Tigger. but it doesn't go exactly as planned but in the end, after some worrying moments, everything turns out okay.

Meh. Adaptations by "reading" groups are usually boring, poorly done. The attempt to make the books easy ignores any sense of whimsy or fun. Basal readers fail new readers because they underestimate the power of interest and curiosity and underestimate the intelligence and abilities of readers. This is no exception. Julius brought it home from school. When we finish The Little Prince, I'll see if he's interested in the real Winnie the Pooh by A.A. Milne.

[Julieanne · Rating 5 out of 5]

This delightfully illustrated book is a great representation of the Tigger introduction sequence from the movie 'The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh' and the font is large enough that most children can read it with ease. For myself it is a good little book to read quietly while unwinding for the day or if you're feeling under the weather.

[Ali Book&Seaglasshunter · Rating 4 out of 5]

Focus is on all of the Tigger parts that are seen in the movie. Tiger and his bouncing is a nuisance, mainly for Rabbit. Rabbit makes a plan to scare the bounces out of Tigger, but ends up scared himself. Then Tigger and Roo get stuck in a tree, and Tigger May have to give up his bounces forever. Very true to the movie.

I have loved the Winnie-the-Pooh books since I was a little girl. Each story is different, unique, as well as cute in their own ways. More recently I found out that each of the characters represents a different disorder that people experience in real life. I would use this in the classroom as a fun silent reading book for the kids to read on either their own time, or during silent reading time.

I must say, I did like how Rabbit’s idea came back to bite him. A story of karma at its finest. I do think the book would have been much better to have ended there. The rest of the tale really took away from the lesson.

[Lorie LovesBooks · Rating 3 out of 5]

I love Tigger, and this is a nice book about how Tigger helps Rabbit after Rabbit gets lost in the woods, and then how Roo and Tigger bounce to the top of a tall tree but then Tigger gets stuck. Very colorful pages following the Disney movie.

[Becky Galambos · Rating 5 out of 5]

Winnie the Pooh is timeless. And I'm always up for a visit to the hundred acre wood. This time, tigger is annoying everyone with all his bounces. But then everyone realizes how sad he is when he promises to give them up, and that he isn't...well, TIGGER, without them.

[Kelsey · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a good story, but I wish Rabbit had actually made it home at the end; the ending felt rather unsatisfying. I also wish there had been a better acknowledgment of how mean it was to purposefully ditch Tigger and that they had given him an apology.

[Christy Roberts · Rating 3 out of 5]

I got this at a library sale 2023. This was good but I felt bad for Tigger. His friends planning to leave him in the woods so he won't bounce anymore not cool.

It backfires though and by the end they realize he's going bounce cause that's just how Tigger is. Wish this had Eeyore in it.

My cousin found this book in my grandparents basement and just brought it after sorting through the old boxes. The inscription says I got it for my 2nd birthday. We read it last night and it is still a wonderful book. Love the story and the lesson as well. These are great books.

[Heather · Rating 5 out of 5]

when I read this book lately with my toddler son, the words, and the deeper meaning hit really deep. this book really makes me reflect. I hope my children appreciate the deeper meaning of the Winnie the Pooh books we read together

My daughter was just diagnosed with ADHD. A lot of truth in this book.

Also I just noticed I have 2 different versions of it
