This is the third adaptation I've read of a 1989 episode of the Disney animated series The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh wherein Eeyore's tail has gone missing again.

Being a 10-page board book, this is the shortest version, dismissing all the side bits because all it has time to do is state Eeyore's tail is missing, have his friends look concerned, and then have the tail turn up.

It uses a handful of the exact same illustrations that were also used in Eeyore's Tail Tale (The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh) and An Eeyore's Tail (Walt Disney's Winnie the Pooh Treasury). Disney loves its recycling.

FOR REFERENCE:

Abridged board book version of Eeyore's Tail Tale, which is in turn a picture book adaptation of The New Adventures of Winnie the Pooh animated segment "Eeyore's Tail Tale," from Season 2, Episode 8; first aired October 28, 1989; directed by Terence Harrison; story by Evelyn A-R Gabai, Bruce Talkington and Mark Zaslove; teleplay by Evelyn A-R Gabai and Bruce Talkington.

(Pooh Project: Phase 2! I've managed to catalog all the shorter Pooh books my family owns (see the list here). While I work through few remaining longer Pooh books we own, I'm missing my daily dose of Pooh, so I'm going to start seeking out some of the Pooh books I don't own – yet – from libraries IRL and online. See the reviews here.) ( )
