review 1: I feel bad admitting this, but at first I thought this book was a joke. I mean do they really make you stick your tongue out during yoga?But I changed my mind. This probably is a great way to introduce children to yoga or trying something new. I looks relaxing, easy enough that a child can follow along and the pictures illustrate how to do the poses correctly. I've never tried yoga, and this book didn't make a lasting impression on my life, but if my children brought it home from the school library, I'd think it was great educational material! Enjoy!
review 2: Bright, cheerful illustrations make this book a great choice for teachers and parents of young children who want to encourage their charges to be physically active.The book shows and describes a variety o... moref fun yoga poses based on different animals. Young readers are encouraged to try the poses for themselves and to use their imaginations by pretending they are the animals who inspire the poses.All of the poses described seem fairly easy to do, and are ones that many of the adult readers might be familiar with, such as the dog, snake and cat poses. The lion pose (sitting on your heels, and sticking out your tongue) and frog pose (squatting down then jumping) are poses that I can see being particular favourites with young readers due to their fun and somewhat silly nature.The only real negative point I can think of is that twice in the text, the author uses the word "Namaste" , but at no point is there a definition for the word or explanation as to what it means. Even a footnote in with the publisher info would have been nice.Illustrations are Linoleum block prints, pencil drawings & photoshop. less
