You couldn't ask for a cuter book.  Rachel's Day in the Garden will delight your preschooler and motivate them to do the yoga moves along with Rachel.  The pictures are eye appealing and very colorful.  First graders will even love the thought that they could read this book on their own.  I loved the little icon on the page of Rachel showing the pose as well as the highlighted key word for the pose.  The chart list in the back of the book with the pose, key word and picture is an excellent reference tool.  There is also a parent/teacher's guide with tips.  I will be using Rachel's poses in my classroom.  This book will be kept at my finger tips.
