IRB Intro Post #1: The Tao of Pooh

For my IRB this cycle, I chose to read The Tao of Pooh by Benjamin Hoff.  When we learned religion in seventh grade social studies, my teacher briefly mentioned this book while we were talking about Taoism.  I always had that book in the back of my mind, but never got to reading it, but when we were introduced to the TOWs I thought this would be a good opportunity to start.  Winnie-the-Pooh and Taoism are two very different topics - or so it seems - and it'd be interesting to dig through the author's rhetoric to connect the two.  I've always loved Winnie-the-Pooh since I was little, so I don't think I'll have trouble liking the book, and I hope it's a fun read just as I've heard people say it is.
