Book Review: I Want to Do Yoga Too by Carole P. Roman

I Want to Do Yoga Too by Carole P. Roman is a short and simple book for children. When Hallie and her mother go to the yoga studio Hallie wants to join her mom's yoga class. She complains to the babysitter, who gently guides her through four yoga poses. Hallie learns that not only is yoga easy, but fun as well.

I Want to Do Yoga Too is very short, but in a good way. When Hallie and her mother go to the yoga studio Hallie is disappointed that she has to wait in the childcare room rather than doing yoga with her mother. we do not know if she just does not want to be separated from mom and wants to show how grown up she is by doing the same thing as adults, but that makes the story work for so many different situations and children. Like any good babysitter, Robin is able to redirect and entertain Hallie. She helps Hallie have fun and teaches her a four yoga poses without her even realizing.

I Want to Do Yoga Too is an easy to read book that can be shared with a young reader or offered to them to read on their own.  The story is short and straight forward, and might peak the interest of children that might want to try out a few basic yoga poses or get an idea of how simple and fun it can be when approached with that in mind.
