This board book has interactive levers, wheels, and pop ups that help to teach children about different yoga poses. The text explains the pose in very simple terms, along with something for the child to imagine while they do the pose.

For example, in bridge pose you can imagine that a river is flowing underneath you and your legs and arms are the bridge across the water. Children can pretend to be a snake, a dog, a mountain, a butterfly, a dancer, a tree, a plane, a pretzel, a boat, a warrior, and a dragon! All of these correspond with the traditional yoga pose, and add an element of fun and awareness to the practice of yoga.

The text is told in rhyme and beautifully written! The rhymes and meter are good and well-organized. I love that the text encourages children to use their imagination and cultivate awareness and mindfulness.
"I sit in my boat and get ready to row,
My hands and feet lift, and I'm ready to go.
I like to pretend that I'm floating at sea.
Rowing my boat keeps me calm and happy."

The illustrations are so cute! I love the cartoony style with bright colors and bold lines. And the interactive portions are so much fun to play with! You can turn a wheel to make the sky turn from day to night or make a river flow around the the page. You can push a lever back and forth to make the illustrations lift into snake pose and back down. You can pull out a section to make an airplane fly. You can lift up the pop-up butterfly wings too! It's entertaining and clever, and I love every page!

Bear, Moose, and Beaver are friends who argue all the time. They go on a canoe trip, but can't decide who should sit in the back, which side to paddle on, or how to get over obstacles in the river. They all have a different idea about how to do things, and nothing gets done. Can these friends finally agree on something before their trip ends in disaster?

This picture book is adorable and very funny! The illustrations are really hilarious. The poor animal friends are thrown out of the canoe several times and the Beaver tries to eat the wooden paddles. They paddle in circles and get stuck in the rapids. At one point, they consider burning the canoe, but decide to continue their trip down the river.

I love the cartoony illustrations with clear lines and bright colors. The characters are funny, and I love the dynamic of their friendship when they finally learn to get along and listen to one another.

Beaver is so careless that he makes a mess of the forest, accidentally injures his friends, and leaves a nest of birds homeless when he fells their tree. His thoughtlessness causes a lot of problems, and finally Beaver realizes that he needs to apologize and clean up his mess!

This picture book is adorable! I love the cartoony illustrations with clear lines and bright colors. I love the simple storyline that shows real consequences for your actions, and how your behavior can affect others. It's a great lesson told in a funny story! Beaver made me laugh, and I enjoyed seeing his character growth.

The Beaver is a relatable character, who just doesn't notice how much damage he is causing until he is forced to slow down. I definitely appreciated his character, since I am a person who has a lot of energy. Learning to channel that energy into something productive is a good lesson.

This adorable picture book features dozens of baby animals from familiar species like the Elephant and Rabbit, to strange species like the Long-Eared Jerboa and the Serval. The photographs of these cute little babies are colorful and sweet! There are tiny cartoon characters drawn into the corners of the pages who cheer for the babies.

The text describes all the things we love about animal babies, their soft fur, their stripes, and fins. Their hooves, and paws. Their snuffles and snorts, their squawks and peeps. "Big or tiny, fast or slow" we definitely love animal babies!

Photographs of the animal babies are placed in a colorful background design that is sure to capture the attention of little readers. At the back of the book there is a glossary listing the species of each baby animal, and showing what they are called. For instance, a baby elephant is called a calf. A baby dormouse is a pup. A baby rabbit is a kit. A baby angelfish is called a fry. A baby kangaroo is a joey. And a baby alpaca is a cria.

This would be really fun to read with a young child and talk about each of the animals. You could ask the child to identify some of the words that come up in the text, and point out a bird beak or a snout or the ears.

This short story is a lovely addition to the Pippi Longstocking books! Pippi throws a party for all the children in the village, and they have several surprise guests who threaten to disrupt the festivities. But Pippi knows just how to deal with intruders!
It’s delightful fun and beautifully illustrated.

This is an excerpt from the original “Pippi Longstocking” book with hilarious illustrations that bring the story to life!
It’s a great way to introduce Pippi to younger readers, who may not have the attention span to read the entire Pippi books.

Bo's brothers go out monster hunting, and won't let her come along. She decides to do some monster hunting by herself, and ends up befriending some creatures along the way.

This book is so cute! Bo is truly fearless and kind and smart, and I loved her sweet character. The story is interesting and funny, with a repetitive plot that is perfect for little readers. Children love repetition and this book has just the right balance in the writing.

The illustrations are captivating! The contrasting colors really focus the attention on key characters and items in the artwork, and the rest of the background is in black and white. It's beautifully done, and I love the art style.

The messages of kindness and self-reliance are wonderful, and teach children a little lesson in a fun way. The whole book is perfection, and I enjoyed it so much!
