What would Ula read?

4 out of 5 🌟I can read this all day! If I say that 'Greek Myths' are beautifully illustrated, it'd be an understatement. This book is just gorgeous. I want to print out every page and put on my wall. I love everything from page design and how text is perfectly fitted inside the pictures to the font-face which is enough fancy to draw my attention but ordinary enough to read. The myths are sorted chronologically from the creation of the world and gods to the more recent events in Ancient Greece's beliefs. The stories are brief and summarized, there isn't too much narration just the chain of events, hence it reads more like a textbook, not a leisure publication. Despite the title covers a great number of details and it's perfect to learn Greek Mythology. Thank you Netgalley and the publisher DK for the ARC in exchange for an honest review. Opinions and feelings are my own.

4 out of 5 🌟Toddler's city guide  ‘Little Cities’ is a series of board books for the youngest readers about the major US cities. The books focus on the main tourist attractions and landmarks. Illustrations are informative but simple, and they remind me of infographics in educational pamphlets. The ‘San Francisco’ book is brief but full of knowledge that fitted into only ten pages. It tells about the most famous city sites and day trips one cannot miss when visiting the city. This volume doesn't include the page about food like the other books from the series. Overall, it’s a good work to engage children's curiosity about the city before and during the trip. Many thanks to the publisher DK and NetGalley for the digital ARC copy in exchange for an honest review.

Relax. Restore. Re-energize. This work is great for everyone who’s either at the beginning of their yoga path or finds yoga exercise classes (or videos) challenging because of their health issues or lack of flexibility. Each pose is extensively explained with step-by-step pictures and many modifications, that make exercise accessible for everyone. ‘Restorative Yoga’ is also encouraging to practice people who normally may feel excluded from the Instagram-ready world of exercise. Many pictures in the book represent older people and pregnant women, which is reassuring and comforting for everyone who ever felt insecure with yoga. I’m not a yoga rookie, I’ve been practicing it more-less for about ten years, hence many information in the book wasn't new to me. The part I liked the most was the ready-to-go collections in the last part of the book. They’re targeted for specific issues like back pain or feeling of anxiety and contain a set of poses with proposed time. I love the aesth...

The ‘Austin’ book is very short and there's a bit less information than in other books in the series. It tells about the city’s monuments, famous places and types of food you need to try while in Austin. Also, it tells about worth-seen events and activities to try. Overall, it’s a good work to engage children's curiosity about the city. ‘Little Cities’ is a series of board books for the youngest readers about the major US cities.
