Best Books For Kids

As a parent, I’m always looking for ways to encourage healthy habits in my children. One way I like to do that is by reading with them. It just so happens that some of our favorite authors have also written books about yoga! My daughter is a huge fan of The Berenstain Bears and I love that Jan and Mike Berenstain have not only written picture books. But also full-length novels based on their lovable bear family. We recently had a chance to review one of their newest titles. Family Night at Berenstain Bear Yoga Class , which follows Sister and Brother Bear as they learn all about yoga. It’s a beautiful story featuring beloved characters that children can relate too—while teaching children a fun new skill!
