Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Smart and iInspirational Comment: First let me say this: I NEVER write reviews. But after seeing so few written for this title, I feel compelled to offer my praise. After a half hour of perusing this book, I have - Learned interesting tidbits about the history of haiku - Gained several simple but brilliant insights into the spiritual nature of haiku - Become determined to lead a haiku class at my sons' school - Started planning for a seasonal haiku-writing party with friends Put it this way: If you're interested enough in this book to actually read the reviews, then you must buy it. Must buy it. Customer Rating: Summary: Great Haiku for Children AND Adults Comment: This book is a gem for adults as well as children. Not only does it clearly and simply explain the elements of haiku, and how to write good haiku, but it contains various projects to encourage children in writing. Included are projects that can be used to involve the whole family in exploring haiku together. As a grandmother who has in the distant past touched into haiku, I found the way this book approaches the subject actually inspired me to resume writing haiku. My granddaughters, 12 and 14, loved the book and are both exploring the medium. Customer Rating: Summary: Great explanations and craft ideas Comment: This book is awesome. The author does a GREAT job at explaining about the essential elements of haiku and how to include them in your poetry. This book is great for teachers who would like a simple guide to help them teach the art of haiku to their students. In addition, this book suggests a number of extension activities involving the arts that are great as well. More Reviews
