About the author
A.A. Milne
1,964 books3,835 followersAlan Alexander Milne (pronounced /ˈmɪln/) was an English author, best known for his books about the teddy bear Winnie-the-Pooh and for various children's poems.
A. A. Milne was born in Kilburn, London, to parents Vince Milne and Sarah Marie Milne (née Heginbotham) and grew up at Henley House School, 6/7 Mortimer Road (now Crescent), Kilburn, a small public school run by his father. One of his teachers was H. G. Wells who taught there in 1889–90. Milne attended Westminster School and Trinity College, Cambridge, where he studied on a mathematics scholarship. While there, he edited and wrote for Granta, a student magazine. He collaborated with his brother Kenneth and their articles appeared over the initials AKM. Milne's work came to the attention of the leading British humour magazine Punch, where Milne was to become a contributor and later an assistant editor.
Milne joined the British Army in World War I and served as an officer in the Royal Warwickshire Regiment and later, after a debilitating illness, the Royal Corps of Signals. He was discharged on February 14, 1919.
After the war, he wrote a denunciation of war titled Peace with Honour (1934), which he retracted somewhat with 1940's War with Honour. During World War II, Milne was one of the most prominent critics of English writer P. G. Wodehouse, who was captured at his country home in France by the Nazis and imprisoned for a year. Wodehouse made radio broadcasts about his internment, which were broadcast from Berlin. Although the light-hearted broadcasts made fun of the Germans, Milne accused Wodehouse of committing an act of near treason by cooperating with his country's enemy. Wodehouse got some revenge on his former friend by creating fatuous parodies of the Christopher Robin poems in some of his later stories, and claiming that Milne "was probably jealous of all other writers.... But I loved his stuff."
He married Dorothy "Daphne" de Sélincourt in 1913, and their only son, Christopher Robin Milne, was born in 1920. In 1925, A. A. Milne bought a country home, Cotchford Farm, in Hartfield, East Sussex. During World War II, A. A. Milne was Captain of the Home Guard in Hartfield & Forest Row, insisting on being plain 'Mr. Milne' to the members of his platoon. He retired to the farm after a stroke and brain surgery in 1952 left him an invalid and by August 1953 "he seemed very old and disenchanted".
He was 74 years old when he passed away in 1956.

A fun story. Tigger and Roo go on an adventure to give Kanga some Mom-time. They get stuck and Pooh's tummy leads the rescue effort.
I feel somewhat silly writing this about a children's book, but I really do not understand the ending.
What is Eeyore thanking Tigger for? I've read this aloud at least 30 to 40 times and I still have no clear idea. I should ask my kids what they think next time.
We got our copy of the book at the thrift store so maybe it lost a page at the end or something?
4 stars for it being a fun Pooh story and giving me a chance to read in the voice of some wonderful characters. -1 star for the abupt ending.

I always find myself wanting to like Winnie the Pooh more than I do. What is wrong with me?

Oh, poor Tigger. It's not a good idea to exaggerate or even lie. Sometimes that leads to being stuck up in a tree with Roo and no way down. Thank goodness you have good friends who help you out with no judgment.
I did not love how everyone just put things on Eeyore without asking him. Pooh decides that everyone should stand on Eeyore's back--which Eeyore deserves to have a say in! Eeyore also seems more caustic than I remember him. He was always a little ho-hum and depressed, but he seems almost mean with some of his remarks in this story.

This is such a classic book. Winnie the Pooh and Tigger were some of my favorite childhood characters. This story tells of another adventure that they go on to have lunch. It is more of a difficult read compared to some other "Little Golden Books" as it contains a lot more words. I'd say this would maybe be for a little bit older children to read.

Such a cute little tale. If I remember rightly, there was a television episode of this story. The kids found this book to be quite funny, though it was difficult to keep them focused as the story was drawn out quite a bit.

In this comical story, Tigger is telling Roo all that Tiggers can do ... if they want to. Eventually, Tigger is sure he can climb trees so he does with Roo on his back. Then he realized he can't get back down. Pooh, Piglet, Christopher Robin and Eeyore come along to the rescue.

The Disnified version of Winnie the Pooh characters are featured in this Little Golden Book story about Tigger inflating his abilities to little Roo. That leads to them getting trapped up a tree and waiting on others to help them out of their dilemma.

Roo and Tigger get stuck on a tree branch and Pooh and Piglet must come up with a plan to get them down. Christopher Robin and Eeyore came alone to save the day.
The colorful and well illustrated pictures made the story fun.

Tigger gets caught out
4 August 2013
Well, this seemed like a bit of a pointless book. It is probably for older children, and the technique that is used here is to have a block of text with some pictures so that as they are reading they are learning to develop pictures of the events in their mind. Where as the others that I have read so far seem to go sentence by sentence, this one goes paragraph by paragraph.
The story is about Tigger and Roo going out for a picnic lunch and while they are looking for a nice place to have lunch Roo is asks Tigger whether he can do things such as fly, jump, and swim. Tigger's response is that he can, it is just that he does not feel like it at the moment (sound's like an excuse that I would use). However, they get to a tree and Roo asks if Tigger can climb the tree, so he says he can and does so, but gets caught halfway up and can't get down. To Roo this is awfully exciting, though we do not notice any embarrassment with Tigger (who has been talking himself up throughout the entire book).
Could there be a moral here, particularly since a lot of children's books seem to do a lot out of moralising? Here, like the Bert and Ernie Golden Book I recently read, seems to suggest that we shouldn't go around talking ourselves up unless there is a basis to that fact. However, the problem with our society is that it is based around promoting ourselves to the best of our ability (I believe they call it sales). There is actually no room for the humble and the honest because if you are humble and honest then you are probably going to be left behind.
Also, I have noticed that Little Golden Books seem to be mostly Disney characters telling Disney stories. I suspect that Little Golden Books is owned by Disney, however I don't really find them as exciting, or as fun, as the Dr Suess books. I guess that has always been a preference of mine, as opposed to some anti-Disney corporate objection that I have with that particular company.

A bit of a strange story but most of the favourites are there.
