Tigger

Children's Laureate Frank Cottrell-Boyce talks with children's writers Cressida Cowell and Michael Rosen about ways in which they identify with Tigger.

To celebrate Winnie-the-Pooh鈥檚 100th anniversary, Children's Laureate Frank Cottrell-Boyce is asking some the UK's most celebrated children鈥檚 writers who they most identify with in A A Milne鈥檚 timeless tales from the Hundred Acre Wood.

Pooh Bear first appeared in print in a story commissioned by London's Evening News for Christmas Eve 1925.

Frank Cottrell-Boyce talks with Cressida Cowell of How to Train Your Dragon fame, and Michael Rosen who has written so many books for children but is perhaps best known for We鈥檙e Going on a Bear Hunt, about ways in which they identify with Tigger.
