<P> In Ernest H. Shepard's illustrations, Tigger appears to bounce and he is capable of holding a pen with one of his front paws . Though Tigger is described by Rabbit and Piglet as "large," he does not seem particularly big in the illustrations . Pooh states once "He always seems bigger because of his bounces," implying that the other animals think of Tigger as being larger than he truly is . That assessment fits very well with Tigger's personality and his assessment of his own abilities, which he always overestimates . He is cheerful, outgoing, competitive in a friendly way, and has complete confidence in himself . Some of the things which he claims Tiggers can do in the chapter "In which it is shown That Tiggers don't climb trees" include flying, jumping farther than a kangaroo, swimming, and climbing trees . He never actually attempts any of the first three things in the course of the story, but he does try to climb a tree . He only succeeds half - way, being able to climb up but not to climb down again . Tigger also says Tiggers "never get lost"; unlike most of his other claims, this one seems to be true - he is able to find his way through the Forest even in a thick mist, despite Rabbit's attempts to lose him . </P> <P> Like most of the characters in Winnie - the - Pooh, Tigger was based on one of Christopher Robin Milne's stuffed animals, in this case a stuffed - toy tiger . However, the word "tiger" is never actually used in the book . The term "Tigger" is used instead, both as the character's name and as a description of his type of animal . No other "Tiggers" appear in the story, and at one point Tigger (who has just seen his reflection in a mirror and mistaken it for another individual) comments he thought he was the only one . Despite that belief, he constantly uses the term in the plural, as in "Tiggers don't like honey ." and "So that's what Tiggers like!", etc . The term is always capitalized . </P> <P> In 1960 HMV recorded a dramatised version with songs (music by Harold Fraser - Simson) of two episodes from The House at Pooh Corner (Chapters 2 and 8), with Hugh Lloyd as Tigger, which was released on a 45 rpm EP . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th_colspan="2"> Tigger (Disney version) </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> First appearance </Th> <Td> Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day (December 20, 1968) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Created by </Th> <Td> A.A.
