If you have heard of The Tao of Pooh you will have also heard of this book. The two together serve as companion books and to the misfortune of this book, The Tao of Pooh is a much greater book. It is not that The Te of Piglet has poor writing, it is more of a case being a product of its times.
The book focuses a bit on historical footnotes more relevant to the time of the books release and on the political climate in the US during the time period, placing the book as stuck in early 90's America. It does discuss Daoism as expected but putting a part of the political climate of the time and what is often a forgotten part of world history into a book that teaches on Daoism was not a wise move. The book requires context and one that means a history lesson. Not something I think of when I think of books explaining the beliefs within Daoism.

Unworldly Wise by Wei Wu Wei
If you seek a book that invokes Daoism but in a more western context, this is a book to go to. It is different with how it tries to get its message out and this is how it gets your attention. It works and thanks to how short this book is, it is easy to just read through this book in a sitting.
