It would be easy to dismiss this book by its cover as a ‘child’s read’ and leave it on the shelf. That would be a shame, for this charming book portrays the principles of Taoism through the story of Winnie the Pooh - and the other characters - in such a way that it makes the reader stop… and think a...

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...
