They really do fit together as two volumes of the same work and I would recommend reading them together. Overall, while I found the 'The Tao of Pooh' an enjoyable book, I find 'The Te of Piglet' a necessary book. Through brilliant and witty dialogue with the beloved Pooh-bear and his companions, the author of this smash bestseller explains with ease and aplomb that rather than being a distant and mysterious concept, Taoism is as near and practical to us as our morning breakfast bowl. In fact, I feel that we see more of Hoff's voice in this volume, which is both a good and a bad thing. For Taoists everywhere, the New York Times bestseller from the author of The Te of Piglet. Hoff is more direct in 'The Te of Piglet' - he calls out the ills of the world less gently and passionately argues for what positive lessons Taoism could have for the world. : The Tao of Pooh (9780140067477) by Hoff, Benjamin and a great selection of similar New. This fact made me like the book more, even if it made the reading experience a little less enjoyable. In this volume, Hoff is more willing to bring in more Taoism and let many of the Taoist masters, especially Chuang-Tse speak. Through the example of Piglet, Hoff can talk about the central Taoist virtue of 'being small.' One does not quite realize how central it is from 'The Tao of Pooh' but after reading 'The Te of Piglet,' it makes the former seem less substantial. The same set-up is here: the author has conversations with characters from Winnie the Pooh and uses them to explicate Taoist teachings. 'The Te of Piglet' by Benjamin Hoff may not have same whimsy as its predecessor 'The Tao of Pooh' but I believe that the confidence in its message and the deeper explanation of themes and idea glanced over the previous volume make it a book worth reading.
