A student reminded me of this book. It's light, easy, and entertaining while at the same time presenting several basic tenets of Daoism very clearly.
I really liked this book, and I would like to read it again.
The concept of explaining Taoism through Winnie The Pooh is very clever and whimsical and made me smile a lot throughout. It definitely shines a light on areas where I need to be more like Pooh. Clearly I have a lot of “Owl” in me as I want to read again to see if I fully got it right, but really the poem at the end sums it all up nicely.
The main reason I have it at a 3, in lieu of 4, is that I want to rewatch Winnie the Pooh and see how in character everyone is. There are some points, particularly with Eeyore and even Pooh himself, I wonder if they were “tweaked” to get a point across.

I loved Winnie-the-Pooh, and I loved this book too. It seemed to keep the spirit of Pooh in mind. I still don't understand the Tao, but that is all right. I might never understand it.
quite sweet
was nice to read this during a stressful time. it served as a little reminder that it is what it is etc.
not necessarily ground breaking, but it was wholesome and a gentle reminder that desperately chasing happiness often gives you the opposite outcome. a nice introduction to taoism
all i really want is to read the actual winnie the pooh now

I first read this when it was given to me when I was in college over 20+ years ago. I remember liking it then. Reading it again was nostalgic. It was a quick read & a simple pleasant book.

I learned a lot about Tao, although I felt like it could have been more informative about the teachings and history.
