Zach and Lucy and the yoga zoo
Pifferson Sisters
- Reading
- Read together and pause when the siblings prepare their space. Invite your child to notice what they have borrowed or improvised, then discuss what makes a place welcoming.
- Themes
- Trying to teach yoga: After watching their mum do yoga, Zach and Lucy decide to teach their friends, although they do not really know how to do yoga. The premise makes their limited knowledge part of the situation, but how the story treats their approach is not established.
- Making a shared space: The siblings set up a studio in their building’s basement using potted plants borrowed from the lobby and door mats as yoga mats. Their resourcefulness is evident in the setup; the story’s wider view of using shared building spaces is unknown.
- Worth knowing
- Zach and Lucy begin teaching without really knowing yoga. If you want yoga presented accurately, you may wish to distinguish their make-believe animal idea from actual practice.
