by Benjamin Hoff, Ernest H. Shepard
One of my favourite contemplative books ever - and I've always loved Piglet best of all the 100-Acres Wood residents. There's a lot to think about here, and to embrace.
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.

And what he learns is very unique to his charictor. The book highlights some phiosiphy of Taoism as well. Very good read. You will find yourself ...
I read this right after I read Tao of Pooh. It was all right (of the two, Pooh was better). Again, it was a decent intro.
