Yoga Zoo Adventures  (English, Paperback, Purperhart Helen)

Telling kids to stop acting like monkeys is normal-telling them to imitate a herd of elephants is not. However, in The Yoga Zoo Adventure for Little Kids, children ages three to seven will be encouraged to mimic some of their favorite animals . This book will help parents, teachers and yoga instructors alike introduce young children to the physical and mental benefits of yoga in a way that little kids are able to grasp and enjoy. The first and last sections of the book are for adults: The first covers tips, how-tos and practical information for parents and teachers while the fourth provides background information on the animals described in the book. The middle sections of the book take the children on a journey of discovery through the zoo. They go through every activity of the day, from brushing their teeth to meeting all kinds of wonderful, strange and interesting animals, each one delivering a yoga stretch, exercise or idea. They come face to face with a tiger and look in the eyes of a giraffe, waddle like a penguin and walk as gracefully as a flamingo. Finally, the children are, also, introduced to the values of the yoga lifestyle through animal fables. This book seamlessly incorporates exercise, learning, creativity and a trip to the zoo - all in one illustrated, easy-to-read package. Ages 3 - 7
