The Tao of Pooh by Benjamin Hoff is certainly an interesting book. Pooh has always been an interesting character and his ways seem to be very close to the ancient Chinese principle of Taoism. When I was younger I was a great fan of Pooh and Huff does a great job of explaining the Taoist philosophy through Pooh and his animal friends.

Instead of bouncing around with Tigger on daring adventures‚ Piglet would rather stay safe at home. Even though Piglet’s size is perceived as a weakness‚ he realizes that
