Praise for the Little Mouse Adventures Book Series by Teresa Power

Halloween Yoga

Little Mouse and friends prove that yoga is for everybody. Halloween Yoga teaches us that caring for ourselves is fun! It reminds us that we can be both playful and kind to ourselves and others, at once! All we have to do is try!

Halloween Yoga uses breathing, mindfulness, and yoga poses to positively demonstrate examples of costumes that children can encounter along their trick or treat journey. If you have children who may be nervous about celebrating this annual tradition, then this new addition to the Little Mouse Adventures series is an excellent resource that can be used to prepare and encourage them for their own fun adventure!

Halloween Yoga is a real treat for children, parents, and yogis alike! Teresa Anne Power’s sweet Halloween story combines engaging rhyming verse with technically accurate yoga poses to deftly introduce children to the concept of self-regulation in an age-appropriate and relatable way. Emma Allen’s gorgeous, detailed illustrations are captivating… This book will be a treasured addition to any child’s reading shelf.

The illustrations in this book are very cute and I like the little additions like the spider on top of the mummy, the bats and ghosts in the air, Little Mouses’ teeny tiny trick-or-treat bucket and the costumes on the mice. The addition of the yoga poses at the end is a nice touch… Introducing children to yoga is good for their well-being and health and to be commended. This is a calm and quiet read about a subject that can be very loud, brash, and frightening.

Truly delightful! Such a creative and engaging story to introduce children to yoga. Making yoga fun and relatable in this way through storytelling, whilst subtly showing the benefits such as calming the mind is a really great introduction to get young people interested in how to use the tools yoga provides.

Teresa Power combined a fun Halloween rhyming story with a yoga sequence and easy-to-follow cues and illustrations. Halloween Yoga is a great book to use during storytime, circle time, or in a kid’s yoga class!

Teresa Power has done it again! Halloween Yoga is such a sweet story about Tammy getting ready for Halloween through yoga. With the help of her mom, dad and friends they do a yoga sequence to move the body plus relax and calm the mind… As a kids’ yoga teacher, it’s wonderful to have amazing stories like this to share with my students. It allows me to incorporate yoga in a fun and engaging way. So thankful for this book!

Halloween is always so much fun but with all the decorations, sounds and distractions it can be overstimulating and overwhelming for young children. In this story, before the group even sets out to have a magical, mysterious fun night, they participate in some very calming (and spooky) themed yoga poses. The book itself is easy to read, fun to follow along with and to do the poses as you read it (we would stop and practice the poses and it did not take away from the story). The story has adorable illustrations that the whole family will love. Children will fall in love with the spooky and fun poses that they can incorporate into practice every day of the year (not just at Halloween).

Yoga at the Museum

A wonderful and creative way to expose children to mindfulness through the arts! This book incorporates simple yoga poses as a reminder to parents and kids that we can find inspiration for wellness all around us—even in paintings at a museum.

This sweet book reminds us that even our youngest friends have frustrating moments, and it gives easy-to-do yoga poses to help calm and recenter our thoughts.

With charming illustrations, this new adventure for Little Mouse is an imaginary trip to a museum filled with images of famous works of art and images that inspire little imaginations. While museums can’t always accommodate the gymnastics of active bodies, this book inspires kids to feel comfortable not only with yoga but with art. A great step for culture and health for young bodies and minds!

Cornelia Butler

Chief Curator, Hammer Museum, Los Angeles

More so than most other titles on the subject of yoga for this age group (and, they are rare indeed), Little Mouse Adventures: Yoga at the Museum gives a fine opportunity to teach balance, methods for achieving calmness, and creative problem-solving skills for a younger age than is usually given yoga teachings. The blend of mindfulness training and artistic appreciation offers many opportunities for parent/child read-aloud enjoyment and enlightenment in a picture book story that is also whimsically fun.

D. Donovan

Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review

This delightful story shows children how creative exploration through art, yoga, and mindfulness practices can bring the balance needed to conquer even the trickiest parts of the day.

Jill Kelsey

A museum is a creative backdrop for children and grown-ups to play, to imagine and to learn. This book engages readers of all ages in using our imaginations for play, for wellness and for dreaming.

There’s so much goodness wrapped up in this Mindful Masterpiece! Kudos to both the author and illustrator for brilliantly blending instruction and education, while being entertaining and engaging! I’m inspired to head to the museum and pose!

Laura Duksta

Yoga poses are a great way to take breaks while doing something challenging like homework and what better place to practice those poses than an art museum! Children will gain an appreciation for diverse artists while learning skills to manage their emotions. Can’t wait to see what adventures Little Mouse takes us on next!

Sharon Prawetz

Children will delight in the subtle playfulness of this book. I love the inclusion of “real art” and the juxtaposition of poses to pieces.

The illustrations are soft and endearing. Blending yoga with art appreciation created an interesting combination of the 2 disciplines.

Mindfulness at the Park

Continuing the series’ mission to promote a love of yoga among children, this latest installment of Little Mouse Adventures explores mindfulness, encouraging happiness, peace, calm, and quiet. Little Mouse, in his wee red cap, returns, along with Mr. Opus, a round orange tabby. The two learn breathing and centering techniques with Tammy and her parents. The text is easy and accessible to young practitioners, who can engage its lessons whether they are at home, school, or in the park on a sunny afternoon.

Foreword Reviews

This is a beautiful children’s book that is fun to read together but also to practice mindfulness together as a family. It gives you great starting tools to begin your own practice as a family and to understand the importance of mindfulness. Combine this with adorable characters and illustrations – this book is a win win!

Working Mommy Journal

Mindfulness at the Park introduces young readers to traditional yoga concepts and practices with gentle models and examples of mindfulness practices. Kids will love the humor in each small portrait and the sense of peace and connectedness in the yoga poses and practice. Parents will love reading and sharing this delightful story with their young children at moments of calm in their busy day… An inviting story about the cultivation of inner tranquility, or mindfulness.”

Midwest Book Review

Yoga at the Zoo

Meet inquisitive and outgoing Little Mouse, his cat friend Mr. Opus, and his human friend Tammy as they venture about town in this first installment of the Little Mouse Adventures series. Book one finds the intrepid rodent and his feline companion joining a trip to the zoo, where Little Mouse notices that the distinctive way that certain animals stretch and balance resembles familiar yoga poses practiced at home. No yoga experience is necessary to appreciate the book’s quiet mind mentality, though!
Foreword Reviews

Cute story of putting into action things we have learned.  Gathering knowledge bears little fruit unless it finds its way into our living.  Little Mouse discovers just how handy the yoga lessons he enjoys watching his neighbors do can be in his adventure at the zoo! This adorable and curious little character comes to life in the illustrations by Allen, making it a fun story.

Midwest Book Review

A delightful book that introduces the important yoga practices of self-regulation and self-calming in a way that a young child can appreciate. A good first step towards stress management and resilience.
SAT BIR SINGH KHALSA, Ph.D.,

A must share with children! I love this sweet story with imaginative illustrations and a simple message that will truly resonate with kids (and adults)! As the founder of Go Go Yoga for Kids and a classroom teacher for over 20 years, I am always looking for fresh ideas and fun new ways to introduce yoga and mindfulness to children. This book will definitely be my new go-to with students!
SARA J. WEIS

Bestselling Author

A most charming tale of a mouse and his gregarious engagement with animals at the zoo. Each animal shows a yoga pose to Little Mouse. Of equal importance, each animal becomes a new friend to Little Mouse, without regard to size or demeanor. Teresa Power’s characters will enchant and endear the reader, the parent or the teacher looking for a beautifully told story.
SYBIL BLAZEJ-YEE

Children’s Librarian Los Angeles, California

What a marvelous book! Instructing young children to be different animals from a zoo will spark great imagination. The illustrations are clear and gentle, and reading it aloud will create an atmosphere of anticipation and fun going to the zoo to see and ‘be’ the many animals.
SIRI KRISHNA KAUR KHALSA

Preschool Yoga Teacher

What an amazing book!! I love the underlying message of mindfulness and yoga that is integrated throughout the entire book. Children — and families alike — will fall in love with Little Mouse and Mr. Opus’ adventure at the zoo. The illustrations are captivating and send me back to my childhood adventures. This is a must-have book in every youngsters’ home or school.
DREW GILES

Director of Educare California at Silicon Valley

Sure to be a favorite of children and parents alike as Little Mouse explores yoga poses with the animals at the zoo. The illustrations are charming and the ending is a delightful twist of excitement! Ms. Powers has combined humor, yoga, and a sweet message for children of all ages!
JANE YOUNG

Whenever Mouse meets a new animal, he is introduced to a new yoga move. Each time Mouse learns a new move, he feels better. Mouse can calm down and have fun… I never tried yoga so when Mouse started learning new moves I tried them. I was able to learn few and even my doggie got to join in! Now I have made up a few of my own when I feel like my heart starts to race or I feel like I have too many wiggles I remember some of the moves Mouse learned. I think this would be a fun book to share with my classmates right after the gym. Sometimes after gym class my friends have a ton of wiggles and being an animal in the zoo is a great way to calm your body plus who doesn’t want to be a lion?

Evan (age 7) for Reader Views Kids

I have worked with children for over 8 years and this book would be such great book to introduce to kindergarteners to help them figure out their emotions. It can be hard to understand your feelings when you are a kid, heck it can be hard for us adults. This is such a good to help children be mindful of their heart and learn to listen to how they are feeling.
