Hoff uses Pooh Bear and all of the other characters from Winnie the Pooh to ease a seeker into understanding Buddhism, Taoism and the general balance of the universe, a little bit better. This book was different from many other books on Buddhism/Taoism, in that it is playful and imaginative, rather than concrete and absorbed in discipline and standards. I think that this is a great read for anybody interested in the Asian religions, who also can appreciate the cute, yet meaningful metaphors that Hoff offers within this book.
