(4) K-3 Illustrated by Anna Forlati. A young boy taking yoga lessons describes each of the eleven "animal" poses he's learned and shows them to his cat (who imitates lion, but not dog). Anyone wanting detailed yoga information should look elsewhere, but the simple approach and welcoming art showing the boy practicing asanas and imagining the animals they're named after should engage a young audience. Tips are appended.
