It brings together the art of yoga and the enjoyment of going to the zoo. This allows kids an outlet for their imagination while reaping the benefits of yoga. <br /> <br />The book has 106 actvivties or games that start from a child waking in the morning, riding in a bus to the zoo, visiting all animals in the zoo, riding back home in a bus, and eventually going to bed. These activites teach kids life skills and while allowing them to broaden their imagination. <br /> <br />The book also has animal fables and a section with descriptions of all the animals. This allows parents/teachers to have a resource to explain to the kids all the specifics related to an animal. <br /> <br />All in all this is a great book and a great resource for parents and teachers.

My children are still too young (2 and 9 months) for these games and yoga in general, but I really look forward to using this book with them when they are a little older. As an actor and college graduate with a degree in children's theatre, I think this book would be ideal for teaching children creative movement and drama. It inspires me to one day want to use this book to teach such a class. I find the games and yoga very similar to classes I took as a young adult and college student. These games help a student to pay attention to all of their senses and how to use their body as an acting instrument (not to mention, it's great exercise for kids!). I think this is such a good book with so many different games and activities that teach a child creative movement, help them learn about animals and help them learn to use their imagination and pretend. I would recommend it highly to anyone looking for games to play with their children that are innovative and creative. Rating: 4 / 5 This is such a neat book!

As I said before, I am not a yoga person but this book is a blast to do with children. Anyone that has kids at home or work with children like I do will love this book. Thumping like a gorilla or stomping like an elephant gets the kids imagination going, the heart pumping, and the giggles abound. We have done the butterfly change so many times I cant count and it works great after reading "The Very Hungry Caterpillar." Just in time for spring! But the worse thing about this book is I can't keep it on my shelf! My friends keep borrowing it or the kids keep thumbing through it to find something new to try!! Just thing what fun it would be if you did like yoga....for me it is a keeper. <br /> Rating: 5 / 5 The Yoga Zoo Adventure by Helen Purperhart

"The Yoga Zoo Adventure: Animal Poses and Games for Little Kids" is a guide explaining how Yoga can be taught to children and give them much benefit and education in the process. The practices of yoga can inspire creativity, imagination on top of the much more obvious physical benefits of exercise to help kids get and stay fit. "The Yoga Zoo Adventure" is a natural and innovative application of the Yoga practices, highly recommended. <br /> Rating: 5 / 5 Yoga is too often depicted as something for crazed new age adults who wear necklaces with healing crystals hanging from their neck. “The Yoga Zoo Adventure: Animal Poses and Games for Little Kids” is a guide explaining how Yoga can be taught to children and give them much benefit and education in the process.
