Book Review: You Are a Lion! And Other Fun Yoga Poses

You Are a Lion! And Other Fun Yoga Poses by Taeeun Yoo

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

The first time I attempted reading this with my daughter was right before bed. While the colorful illustrations and the familiar animals kept her interest, she didn't seem that into it.

So the next day, instead of saving it for a bedtime story, we read it before dinner and tried to follow along with the pictures. It was quite amusing watching my daughter's interpretations of the yoga poses, and she had a lot of fun making the animal noises if nothing else. Her favorite part is a tie between the dog (every time she looked at me upside down, she laughed so hard she'd fall over) and the mountain, which actually surprised me because it was the easiest of all poses and didn't have an animal noise for her to make.

So I'd highly recommend reading this at a time when your little one can interact and get silly while following along. You'll both enjoy it a lot more that way!
