Editorial Review From Booklist
PreSchool - Intended as a "gentle introduction" rather than a strict how-to manual, this small, square book offers a simple sequence of yoga poses designed especially for toddlers. On each cheerfully designed spread, a simple, black-outlined illustration shows a smiling toddler in a pose; on the opposite page, an animal mimics the same motion. The text is straightforward: "Yoga baby wags his tail like a dog" read the words above a boy, balanced in Downward Dog pose--just like the spotted pooch next to him. Appended material includes tips for adults to help guide children through the motions and photos of toddlers performing the poses. This slim offering isn't a necessary purchase, but there's little available about yoga for the toddler set, and the encouraging notes and well-chosen poses will give parents (and others who work with children) new ideas for channeling toddler energy.
