Reviews

"[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
