Zach and Lucy and the yoga zoo
Pifferson Sisters
- Reading
- Read it as an imaginative sibling adventure, then invite your child to notice how the pair adapt an ordinary basement for their friends. Keep any talk about yoga separate from the story's pretend animal poses.
- Themes
- An improvised yoga class: The siblings turn what they have seen of their mum's yoga into a class for friends, using animal pretence and improvised mats. The setup makes the children's limited knowledge part of the story's premise, with animal pretence at the centre of their class.
- Worth knowing
- The children teach yoga without really knowing how, and their poses involve pretending to be animals. A child expecting instruction in actual yoga may benefit from distinguishing the make-believe class from yoga practice.
