"Stand / With feet flat / Bend and touch ground / Bottom up! / You are a . . . / . . . Dog." Simple language and kid-friendly illustrations demonstrate both poses and related animals such as butterfly, lion, and cat, as well as mountain pose. Limiting the number of poses to seven, this book is appropriately child-centered in delivering its yoga message.

When his little red fish disappears into a library book, JeJe literally falls into the pages with it and soon finds himself clinging to a flamingo's leg.
