Itsy Bitsy Yoga for Toddlers and Preschoolers — 8-minute Routines to Help Your Child Grow Smarter, Be Happier and Behave Better ($16.95, Da Capo Books, 2008) by Helen Garabedian.

From building blance to taming tantrums, this books shows parents how yoga can help children learn to deal with everyday life with ease and grace. Garabedian shares 10 short yoga routines, featuring poses such as "Star," in which the child stands on one foot with arms spread out from the sides, and "Danda," in which the child sits with legs stretched in front and reachers for the toes. Photographs demonstrate how to perform each move. Play and easy to learn, these eight-minute routines help keep children active, limber and happy. -- Jessi Libbing
