I often tell people to read Tao of Pooh first. Just read and absorb. Don't take notes or anything. Same with the Te of Piglet.

Then, once they've seen the beauty, delve into the more introspective works like Lao-Tzu's tome.

Ah, the Tao of Pooh and the Te of Piglet. How I remember those books, well. I first started reading the Tao Te Ching in high school, which was fairly daunting at the time. When I read the Tao of Pooh and Te of Piglet, I understood it a lot better, especially the part about the uncarved block. Definitely a recommended read! :)

Oh, yea! I the uncarved block is one of my favorite parts! Probably a close second to the Pooh Way (Wu Wei Wu)

“Though, as the crusade presses on, I find myself altogether incapable of staying here in saftey while others shed their blood for such a noble and just cause. For surely must the Almighty be with us even in the sundering of our nation. Our fight is for freedom, for liberty, and for all the principles upon which that aforementioned nation was built.” - Patrick “Madman of Galway” O'Dell
