Tigger finds his way to the Hundred Acre Wood, and Pooh and his friends meet the bounciest creature they've ever seen. He can climb up trees (but not down again), and sometimes his bounce lands gloomy donkeys in the water. Will the others succeed in unbouncing him? Or could they all learn a thing or two from the perpetually positive Tigger? The final official 'Winnie-the-Pooh' collection from A.A. Milne, these stories are once again embellished by Ernest H. Shepard's delightful illustrations.

The adventures of Pooh, Piglet, Owl, Tigger, and the ever doleful Eeyore, are timeless treasures of childhood. These tales still speak to all of us with the vividness which distinguishes true storytelling...
