5.0 out of 5 stars A unique and enthusiastically recommended title, February 3, 2002
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
Stuart Olson's Tai Chi For Kids: Move With The Animals introduces young readers ages 4 to 8 to one of the ancient popular Chinese form of exercise. Eight simple but elegant Tai Chi movements are showcased and are simple enough that parents or caregivers can easily teach a child to perform. The illustrated presentations are particularly imaginative as they draw upon the mimicry and symbolism of animals and animal movements. The exercises include: Holding the Bird's Tail; Snake Slithering Down; White Crane Cools Its Wings; Carry the Tiger Back to the Moutnain; Dragon Plays in the Clouds; Wild Goose Flies Away; Chasing the Monkeys Away; and Gold Roosster Stands on One Leg. Tai Chi For Kids is a unique and enthusiastically recommended title for any family, school, or library collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is perfect for kids!!, May 21, 2005
By Krait (United States) - See all my reviews
After reading the other reviews, I seriously considered not buying this book for my 17 month year old son. After some thought however and lack of other Tai Chi books for kids, I decided to try it anyway. Figuring that at least he could look at the pictures.

At first glance my son let out an animal roar. I knew it was a success. The drawings are great perfect for a child's imagination. The book is segmented very clearly. It definitely explains Tai chi to kids in a fun creative way.

I have nothing negative to say about this book. I can only wonder what some people expect from a children's Tai Chi book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tai Chi for Kids, January 9, 2007
By Monika I. Domaracki (Lynwood, Western Australia Australia) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As I have only just began to teach children (5-10) the art of Tai Chi I found this book very informative. They loved the exercises and the pictures were enjoyed by all.
