The official yoga book for kids
I bought a whole slew of yoga for kids books and this is by far the best one. All of the others repeat the information from this book, but in a less clear way and without the great pictures. This is the one to get.

Naomi C. Rose

Clear Light Books, 2004

Great Teaching Book
My daughter and I attend a Family Dharma class that teaches from a primary text for adults, but the class is geared towards little kids as far as time and content. However I really felt we needed some literature that was on her level (she is 6) and had images. Tibetan Tales was perfect. There are several stories that can be read individually and discussed. Some we had already heard and it was ...

Douglas M. George

Clear Light Books, 1998

One word: EXCELLENT!
This book is well-written and beautifully illustrated and long overdue. Some of the pen and ink illustrations didn't reproduce well but that is a minor point. I can't remember how many times I have purchased books for my kids and wished there were more Native American books written and illustated by REAL Native Americans! And the fact that it is about the legends of my own people makes it ...

I found this book in preparation for teaching a yarn painting project to my elementary and middle-school art students. The story is a wonderful creation myth, and beautifully illustrated with photos of the yarn paintings that were designed for it. In addition to being a great story, the book gives insight into the cultural and spiritual traditions of the Huichol Indians in Western Mexico.

If I could read only one writer about the American West, it would be Dee Brown. His Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee is a landmark. This anthology is exactly what I like - a smorgasboard of fascinating, factually accurate tales that fill in our understanding of the events, people and times of the Old West. Best of all, I feel he's clear-eyed and unencumbered by politics in describing American ...
