About This Book
Reach for this book when your little one is feeling hesitant about trying a new food or finding their place in a group. It is a comforting tool for navigating the common toddler milestone of picky eating and the early development of a personal identity. Tigger goes on a gentle journey through the Hundred Acre Wood, tasting the favorite breakfasts of his friends to see what Tiggers like best. While the story is simple, its emotional core focuses on the excitement of discovery and the security of being known by friends. As Tigger realizes that what works for others might not work for him, children learn that it is okay to experiment until they find what feels right. This board book is perfectly sized for small hands and provides a low-pressure way to talk about trying new things as a brave adventure rather than a chore.
