The Te of Piglet is a book from 1992 by Benjamin Hoff. It's like a follow-up to his earlier book, The Tao of Pooh. This book was very popular, staying on bestseller lists for many weeks! It helps explain big ideas using characters from the Winnie-the-Pooh stories.
What is 'The Te of Piglet' About?
In The Te of Piglet, the character Piglet from the Winnie-the-Pooh stories helps explain a Chinese idea called Te. Te means 'power' or 'goodness'. Benjamin Hoff uses Piglet to show how even small things can have great 'virtue'.
The book also teaches more about Taoism, which is a way of thinking about life. It includes many fun stories from the Winnie-the-Pooh books to help explain these ideas.
Piglet's Special Power
The book shows that Piglet has a special kind of power. This power comes from his kind heart, which in Taoism is called Tz'u. It's not about being big or strong. It's about being good and caring.
The book also looks at other characters from the Hundred Acre Wood. These include Tigger, Owl, Rabbit, Eeyore, and Pooh. Each character helps to show different parts of humanity. The book explains how some of these traits can stop us from living in peace with the Tao. The Tao is like the natural flow of the universe.
