My Review
There is so much greatness packed into this little book. Rachel’s Day in the Garden not only teaches kids some easy yoga poses, it also teaches them colors and some easy spring science. I love books that are entertaining while teaching children. This way they are having fun while learning. All of the instructional material included in the book will help you be safe while doing the yoga poses. I adore the colorful illustrations in Rachel’s Day in the Garden too. They are so creative and pretty. Your kids will love them as well as the fun they’ll have learning yoga poses.

This is so cute. My younger nieces would love this, so I will have to get them each one for their upcoming birthdays.
This is such a cool book! I teaches the value of exercise, as well as shapes, and a little science. You can’t beat that!
What a lovely book! I like that it also teaches yoga poses. And the colors are amazing.
This is such a great idea! Getting kids into a healthy habit so young with such a cute book. It will serve them well as they get older!
This would be perfect for my almost 9 year old. It also reminded me that I was trying to get into Yoga with her, and now I should pick it back up again! Thanks for that. 🙂
This sounds like such a lovely book, it would be perfect for any young on to read! Yoga is super good to get into as well, it’s so healthy for you.
Oh how fun is that! It sounds like a cute book and it’s great to get the kids excited about exercise.
So yoga is safe for children as young as three years old? I think some basic poses are okay and they can learn to be more flexible.
I think this is a wonderful way to encourage kids to be active. Sounds like a really nice book!
How neat! I want to start yoga, and I think my little ones could benefit from it!
I would love to get this book for my daughter. The little girl illustration looks just like her.

Awww, that’s so sweet! We’ve always bought our son educational yet fun books too. I have mostly boys in my family, but I think that my niece would LOVE this cause she’s into cheer and stuff so young.
