In Peaceful Piggy Yoga, Kerry Lee MacLean couples one-line sentences about who uses yoga and how, with step-by-step instructions for basic poses. The text on the left could be read aloud for a preschool storytime, complete with adorable pigs in yoga poses, while the text on the right could be used to lead that same group in gentle stretches. The illustrations are cheerful, and the rounded child-like font makes the text approachable for new readers. This could be a great title for the stacks, display, a family workshop or for a body-movement storytime!
