#blogbookaday: Yoga Bunny

Summary:  “Even bunnies do yoga!

It’s a perfect day for yoga, and Bunny is practicing his poses and wishes his friends would do yoga with him! But Lizard is too tired, Fox is in a rush, and Bird has the hiccups. Will Bunny ever be able to get his friends to slow down and realize that yoga just might be the solution to their problems?

Akin to I Am Yoga by Susan Verde, Yoga Bunny helps readers relax and unwind as they learn beginning yoga poses, from downward dog to tree pose. Debut author-illustrator Brian Russo shows readers just how relaxing yoga can be.”(Taken from Goodreads)

Review: Bunny wants to share his yoga poses with his friends but they’re too busy and have no interest in slowing down to share yoga poses with Bunny. It takes only one friend to try something new, until finally everyone joins in! The illustrations are absolutely adorable – simple pencil outlines and watercolors that make me want to cuddle all of these little animals with great big hugs!

Personal Reaction: I’ve been doing a yoga storytime the little ones in my library and I’m always looking for titles that incorporate a cute story with yoga poses that kids can do while you read the story aloud. I’ll definitely be adding this story to my list of yoga books!

This is a new idea I’m trying on my blog this year that was inspired by @donalynbooks and @heisereads – to provide a brief review of a picture book every day of 2018. You’ll get a brief summary of the story, a review of the content, illustrations and theme, my personal reaction to the book and all the pertinent publication information! Enjoy!
