"You're never too young to make friends with your body. In this beautifully-designed and sturdy board book, very young learners are asked to imitate ten familiar insects with child-friendly yoga poses. From Hum, hum, hum, buzzy bee to Shine and sparkle, twinkle toes to Wiggle, giggle, jiggle, hands and feet the illustrations on the double-page spreads show both serenely happy children and the insects in the poses. Hinder has already made her mark in children's yoga libraries with Good Night Yoga and Good Morning Yoga. This charming addition to her credits further secures her place as a leader in the field." --Anna Jedrziewski, Retailing Insight
