Illustrated by
Sophie Fatus.
Clear, step-by-step instructions and diagrams on how to achieve each of nine yoga poses such as tree, plow, and fish are illustrated with brightly colored art of Gumby-limbed characters demonstrating the different poses. The fictional framework, however, of a boy describing the careers of his yoga classmates' parents ("Emmie says her daddy's a farmer. Sometimes, my daddy's a plow") feels forced.
