About The Book Fairy
A career Children’s Librarian, the Book Fairy (a.k.a. kittenpie) has worked in library systems in both New York and Toronto. She’s thrilled to have another place to share the books she loves without creeping people out the way she does at the bookstore.

Stretch, by Doreen Cronin and Scott Menchin
Has your family eaten too many holiday goodies? Perhaps you'd like to start out the new year with a renewed commitment to putting a little more activity into your life? Even your toddler can get involved with this fun book of stretches!
In it, a cartoon-style dog imagines being a bird, a lion, an astronaut, and more as he leads children through a series of stretches. It's not really a yoga book, it's more a get-your-wiggles out activity, and I can see using it with toddlers or preschoolers, or lending it to a primary teacher to get a group moving.
In fact, I like it enough that I am going to go and get my hands on its earlier companion books, Bounce and Wiggle. that's enough to shake anyone's sillies out!
