    • Abstract:
      "It's Not Pilates!" by Desislava Chevallier is a charming picture book that introduces young readers to Pilates moves. The story follows Andrea, a girl who decides to share Pilates with her animal friends in the forest. Initially disappointed when no animals show up to her class, Andrea starts doing Pilates on her own and catches the attention of the forest animals. Through cleverly disguised Pilates moves, Andrea shows the animals how to find joy in movements related to their everyday environment. The book includes a list of Pilates poses with step-by-step instructions and illustrations of animals in each stance. This book is recommended for fans of other books about exercise and animals, such as "Alphabreaths" by Christopher Willard and Daniel Rechtschaffen, and "When Animals Exercise" by Julia Zheng.
