The Te of Piglet . . . in which a good deal of Taoist wisdom is revealed through the character and actions of A. A. Milne's Piglet from the bestselling author of The Tao of Pooh

Piglet? Yes, Piglet. For the better than impulsive Tigger? or the gloomy Eeyore? or the intellectual Owl? or even the lovable Pooh? Piglet herein demonstrates a very important principle of Taoism: The Te--a Chinese word meaning Virtue--of the Small.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

This topical Taoist manifesto, a sequel to Hoff's bestselling The Tao of Pooh , was a 21-week PW bestseller.
Copyright 1993 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Review

"[Hoff's} Taoist manifesto distills ageless personal and political wisdom, relaying an ecological message we ignore at our peril." -- Publishers Weekly

"In the original, as you may recall, Hoff had an Idea: that Winnie-the-Pooh could be used to explain Taoism, the ancient Chinese way of balance. Now, as luck would have it, Pooh's buddy Piglet turns out to be the perfect embodiment of Te, the Taoist term for virtue, which is attained through sensitivity, modesty, and smallness." -- Kirkus Reviews

5.0 out of 5 stars The Tao at Pooh Corner

If you love Winnie The Pooh, and have ventured into the "Tao of Pooh," also by Benjamin Hoff, the hilarity of A.A. Milne's wonderful characters and delightful drawings by Ernest A. Shepard, continues with the "Te of Piglet." Hoff weaves precious Tao teachings into the humorous encounters between the characters, offering the reader insights into our own human condition for our reflection.

The important lessons of life explained through Winnie the Pooh & his friends. Good for young adults and beyond. Very well written. This & it's follow-up book, The Te of Piglet, have taught me a lot about myself & others while providing a comfortable, easy read. I'm in love with these books! Reflective while bringing big smiles. Nice to exchange with friends as well. Provides positive feelings. Leisurely book while being insightful. A timeless treasure.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Read for Young and Old
Reviewed in the United States on November 22, 2013
Verified Purchase
I have always been curious about this book.

When a neighbor's son returned for the summer break from college, I happened to be in her driveway, speaking about a fence renovation between our properties. When he exited from his automobile while dragging his backpack behind him, the Te of Piglet dropped out of his backpack. When he picked it up, I asked him about it and he replied that the book deserved a read - he really enjoyed it!

So, after looking around for a copy - I found one on Amazon at an incredible price.

I have read the book and I found it a wonderful read. I recommend it to young and old.

I dabble in Taoism and these books really help me to understand and relate to principles I have struggled with. Even if you're not into Taoism this book at the Tao of Pooh are must reads for any, I mean any adult, with a thirst for knowledge and alternative ways to look at life.

More wordy than The Tao of Pooh, but it is worth the read. The author wants to present a more full picture of "The Way", which is to be commended.

Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2017

I loved this book. A fun and insightful read about personality types as depicted by the characters in Winnie the Pooh books. The used copy I purchased was in great shape. Sad to say, I think I am more like Rabbit than Pooh, but certainly trying to evolve into seeing the world more as Pooh does for a happier life.
