Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

"Bark, George," says George's mother, and George goes: "Meow," which definitely isn't right, because George is a dog.

And so is his mother, who repeats, "Bark, George." And George goes, "Quack, quack."

What's going on with George? Find out in this hilarious new picture book from Jules Feiffer.

Synopsis:

This explanation of Taoism avoids the use of Chinese and technical terms, even such well-known terms as yin and yang. Each meditation included in this book begins with a one-word title and its Chinese character, the number of the meditation, and a brief poetic aphorism. Each meditation illustrates a single Taoist principle in natural imagery. An appendix of months and days aids readers who want to read one prayer each day.

Synopsis:

Umbrella, light, landscape, sky–

There is no language of the holy.

The sacred lies in the ordinary.

This treasury of life–enhancing daily readings turns a wise Taoist light on every facet of life. Each daily entry with a one–word title and its Chinese character in elegant calligraphy.

A brief, poetic aphorism provides the theme, followed by a clear, insightful mediation on the day's Taoist principle.
