My rating: 5 of 5 starsA copy of The Tao of Pooh was provided to me by Tantor Media for review purposes."...the basic Taoism that we are concerned with here is simply a particular way of appreciating, learning from, and working with whatever happens in everyday life. From the Taoist point of view, t...

Much like its companion book , The Te of Piglet, this book takes a deeper look at the lovable, clumsy character that is Winnie-the-Pooh. The author does an amazing job of delving into Pooh's psyche and proves that there is more that makes this bear tick than just honey. While the content includes ...

I found this book to be very thought provoking as well as wonderfully written. The Te of Piglet explores the characteristics of Piglet on a deeper level. While typically depicted as the trembling, shy member of the Winnie-the-Pooh gang, this book delves deeper into Piglet's psyche and shows the tr...

This book was originally rated at two stars by me because it really paled in comparison to the Tao of Pooh, which I still highly recommend.Why is this book one star? A few reasons....1.

Started out fun but it lost me near the end and felt preachy. I did enjoy the narration and he was able to do a good Pooh voice.

My sodding goodreads replacement (maybe)
An interesting book, although I'm not sure how well the principles of Taoism have stuck with me - in fact my only thought after reading this was that I wanted to read some actual Winnie the Pooh! Still, it was an interesting concept, although, and this might be a petty nitpick, I didn't think the au...

“Hello there! Aren’t you Winnie the Pooh? I’m a big fan.”“Yes I am. How do you know me?” Asked Pooh.“There have been many books written about you and your friends. The most recent one is about how you are a western Taoist.”“Oh.”“A western what?”“Taoist” I said, “it’s very hard to explain, I’m n...

I'm not going to give this a rating because I didn't read the main body of the book containing Opal's diary. I only read Benjamin Hoff's biography of Opal at the beginning and his additional information at the close of the book. Opal was certainly a precocious child. I admire her love of nature and ...
