You Are A Lion! And Other Fun Yoga Poses (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
This is a different kind of interactive picture book. It is meant to introduce children to some basic yoga poses. It reads like a story, and the illustrations show how the child should position their body, and then it provides an animal name for each pose. It's a fun and different idea! This would make an interesting read-aloud for younger grades, I'm thinking kindergarten. It gets them moving and is a fun way to read! I enjoyed this simple and basic introduction to yoga poses. Taeeun Yoo gives a simple description of an easy yoga pose and then follows it with a beautifully illustrated two-page spread of the animal pose with its natural behaviors. I know that my squirmy kindergarteners would totally enjoy this as an interactive read aloud. I do wish, however, that this book could be considered nonfiction. I think it would be a lovely compliment to books for older elementary students. Recommended for school libraries with students who are exposed to yoga at home or in gym classes.
