Review - and Giveaway! of My Friends Tigger & Pooh and Mickey’s Storybook Surprises
(My Friends Tigger & Pooh and Mickey’s Storybook Surprises were both provided to me by Special Ops Media for the purpose of this feature and giveaway.)
Join Pooh, Tigger, Darby and all your pals from the Hundred Acre Wood for this delightful treat full of fantas-terrific fun!
It’s fall, the time of year filled with surprises, and the gang needs YOU to use your super-sleuthing skills to answer a few tricky questions and solve some spooky-fun mysteries. Can Piglet’s friends help him overcome his fear of thunder and lightning by playing the Flashidy Freeze game? And when a piece of the moon “breaks off,” will Eeyore really take a rocket-ship trip to fix it?! There’s much more excitement in store, so get ready to laugh, play and sing along as you and your friends celebrate the harvest season and proudly proclaim, “This mystery is history!”
Yes, that says “Darby.” Christopher Robin is absent from this installment of the Winnie the Pooh franchise, which I find slightly blasphemous. It didn’t bother my 6-year-old Josiah, though, who enjoyed this DVD very much.
My Friends Tigger & Pooh: Hundred Acre Wood Haunt will be available on DVD on September 2nd. The DVD special features include a special Halloween episode of Handy Manny and the “Super Sleuth Fall Harvest Festival” game.
The only thing more fun than listening to a story is actually being part of it. So just say the magic words, “Meeska Mooska, Mickey Mouse” - and let the enchantment begin!
When Donald Duck turns into a frog after drinking Professor Von Drake’s new potion, only a kiss from Princess Daisy can change him back. But she’s locked away in the Tallest Tower! Will you help Mickey choose the right Mouseketools to rescue Daisy and de-frog Donald? There’s nonstop fun, excitement and new challenges around every corner as you help solve a Goldilocks-style mystery, wake Sleeping Minnie from a hundred-year-nap, outsmart pesky Pete on a race through the woods and more!
Let your imagination soar as you join Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy and the whole Clubhouse gang of classic characters as they set off on amazing, music-filled storybook adventures inspired by your favorite fairy tales. No matter what your age, Mickey’s Storybook Surprises will make you believe in Mousekemagic!
We haven’t had time to watch this one yet, but Josiah loves the other Mickey Mouse Clubhouse DVD we have, so I’m sure it will be a hit, too.
Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Mickey’s Storybook Surprises will be available on DVD on September 2nd. The DVD special features include the “Tales from Toodles” Game.
Now, the fun part. I have one copy of each of these DVDs to give away to my readers. Here are the specifics:
1. Leave a comment on this post before 11:59 pm PST, Sunday, September 7th.
2. In your comment, please tell me which DVD is your first choice, which is your second choice.
3. On Monday, September 8th, I will use Random.org to generate two random numbers. If both winners prefer the same DVD, the first number chosen will get their first choice.
4. This giveaway is open to readers in the US and Canada only. (I’m paying shipping myself.)
5. Normally I say one comment per reader. However, this time I have a way for you to earn one more chance to win. Click over to my other blog, Books and Movies. Look around and find one book that I’ve reviewed that you would like to read, then come back here and tell me about it. Your comment must include a book that you saw me review at Books and Movies, or it won’t qualify for a second entry. While you’re there, you can also enter to win a copy of the novel Guernica.
Good luck!






















































My kids would love either one.

I looked at you book page, and “The Sign of the Book” looks interesting. I like the idea of the bookish detective.

August 31st, 2008 at 7:24 pmSo, 2nd choice is Mickeys Storybook Surprises

Broken for You by Stephanie Kallos sounds like a good book.

August 31st, 2008 at 7:34 pmThanks SO much for the “heads up” email about your giveaway! My little man is C-R-A-Z-Y about Mickey Mouse Clubhouse…He’s actually having a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse birthday party in October! And can’t wait!LOL! So, needless to say, MMC would be our first choice…But we’d defintely love Pooh, too!
Off to check out your other blog! Thanks again!
August 31st, 2008 at 7:36 pmI think I would like to read Half-Assed. That sounds like a good read.
August 31st, 2008 at 7:36 pm“The Devil’s Arithmitic” looks like a book that I would enjoy! I really like that blog…I’m always on the hunt for another good read! Thanks!

my first choice would be Tigger and Pooh.My secound choice would be Mickeys Storybook Surprises
August 31st, 2008 at 7:59 pmMy first choice would be The Hunger Acre Wood Hunt and 2nd choice would be the Mickey Mouse one.
Thanks for letting me know about the giveaway! My son loves Tiger and Pooh as well as Darby.
August 31st, 2008 at 8:11 pmooh this is so great i know two little kids who would really enjoy this! my first choice is the winnie the pooh dvd
August 31st, 2008 at 8:12 pmi think i would really enjoy reading the devil’s arithmetic i like reading anything having to do with the holocaust and anything well written : )
We would be happy with either one! My kiddos love them both!
August 31st, 2008 at 8:30 pmGreetings! What a fun giveaway prize drawing. Both DVDS sound adorable! I have always been a fan of “Winnie the Pooh.” I would love to win “My Friends Tigger & Pooh: Hundred Acre Wood Haunt”! Like you, I can’t believe that Christopher Robin isn’t included. One book that you reviewed that really sounds interesting to me is “The Devil’s Arithmetic!” One minute Hannah is trying to understand the number on her Grandpa’s arm and the next she is transported to 1942 and the Holocaust herself. I suppose that is one way; but a difficult one, to understand what all the fuss is about. Please enter me in your drawing. Thanks, Cindi
August 31st, 2008 at 8:39 pmThey both sound like fun, but my first choice would be Mickey Mouse - my 2 yr old loves Mickey!
Thanks for the great giveaway!
August 31st, 2008 at 9:35 pmI would love to win 1) Mickey’s Storybook Surprises (first choice) or 2) My Friends Tigger and Pooh (second choice).
My son loves to say, “OH TOODLES!”

I read your book review on Devil’s Arithmetic and it got me fired up to read this again. I haven’t read this since I was in elementary school and remember loving it. I’ve been looking for something that would be a quick read, but would be moving. Thanks for the review!

Gene

September 3rd, 2008 at 3:28 amAfter checking out your book & movie reviews, I’d like to read Half-*ssed: A Weight Loss Memoir. I have never heard of this book before reading your review, but it sounds like a good read!

September 3rd, 2008 at 5:13 amAs a big Mickey fan I have to say I would prefer Mickey’s Storybook Surprises as my first choice. I would take Pooh as my second choice. Either one will be passed along to my nephew.
September 3rd, 2008 at 5:46 amI clicked over from Scribbit. Thanks for the giveaway. My first choice would be Pooh, of course. Despite the replacement of Christopher Robin.

Thanks!
September 3rd, 2008 at 7:00 amMy daughter swoons for Pooh bear so that would be her first choice!
September 3rd, 2008 at 7:57 amFor a book pick, somehow I missed reading The Devil’s Arithmetic when I was younger. I remember other classes reading it, but somehow mine never did.
September 3rd, 2008 at 8:34 amMy kids love Mickey Mouse, so Mickey Mouse Clubhouse: Mickey’s Storybook Surprises would be perfect for them.
And I love memoirs, so the book “Half-*ssed, a Weight Loss Memoir” would be a perfect read for me!

September 3rd, 2008 at 10:55 pmI would like to read Half-*ssed. I too have more than I need & have tried many things to no avail. This book sounds very inspirational.
