BUYING ADVISORY: EL, MS - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
The Horse's Haiku is a collection of haiku poetry all about the aspects of working with horses, from watching them graze, to riding them in all seasons, to observing them at rest after a long day. An afterword describes the author's approach to haiku.
The haiku presented in the pages paints a perfect picture of life with horses, and the pencil-and-watercolor illustrations are lovely. Fans of horses and poetry are likely to enjoy this one. It would also add interest to a poetry unit.
