This bird has a haiku just for you: from a lilly pad keen eyes spy a careless fly a sticky tongue--SNAP! Simple, playful haikul offer clues about the animal revealed when the page is turned, making this book a first collection of poetry as much as it is a game of "guess who." Spirited illustrations by acclaimed artist Bob Shea add to the fun!
**STARRED REVIEW**
"Over all, a superb introduction to this potent poetic form, teaching pre-readers both the evocative power of description and the reward for listening closely. Not to be missed: gorgeous poetry, vibrant illustrations, and masterful use of the page turn."
Whether reading out loud to kindergartners as an introduction to this perennially popular art form, or using selections as inspiration for aspiring older poets, this collection should find an appreciative
audience.
“This winning combination of haiku and smiling farm animals is sure to be a favorite among young readers…offering suggestions on how to engage children in the rhythm of each verse…this introduction to haiku is excellent for storytime or laptime.” * School Library Journ
