I was given the honor of being a guest reader for my nephew’s 1st-grade class. Being the Funcle (fun uncle) that I am, I took my task seriously.

I went to the library and asked the librarian for 3 recommendations. She was quite helpful and grabbed me three that she liked and gave me reasons why. They all looked good enough, but I didn’t feel sold yet. I walked away empty-handed.

The next day I went to another branch. I didn’t ask this time and just shuffled through the shelves until something grabbed me. This time I left with 3 books that I picked.

Every Bunny is a Yoga Bunny stands out for a couple of very important reasons.

1- sentence structure. It just flows. There are clear thoughts on each page, that transition well to the next page when reading out loud. The other books, which are highly rated books didn’t come close.

2- subject matter. The classroom had all eyes on me as I read the book and mimicked some of the movements. The thematic return back to the breath had the kids taking deep breaths as I was reading. At the end, we did the yoga poses that are in the back pages and it was so much fun.

I highly recommend this book to a family that engages in activity together or wants to practice mindfulness. I’ll be gifting it to my friends and family.

*In full disclosure, I have used an Amazon Affiliate link to recommend the book.
