My Review: I absolutely love this little book! It can help with color recognition, along with giving children (and parents) the opportunity to practice ten different yoga poses. Each pose is related to a keyword in the text of the story, and they are all summarized at the end of the book. There is also a guide at the end of the book for parents/teachers, to help you get the most out of the book.
At first glance, the illustrations in the book seem like most other picture books, but if you look again, you will see that they have a collage quality to them, appearing to be made of a variety of materials.
The story is also one that can be read without using the yoga poses, for a quiet time activity, talking about the colors and the things Rachel and her dog do/discover in the garden.
**I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are entirely my own.**
My Rating: Five stars
