Basho and the River Stones is a folktale that is dedicated to Basho who was the most famous Poet in Japan and creator of Haiku Poems. This story about trickery, forgiveness and how when you do good, good comes back to you. This is a great story to read when teaching about Japan, Poems (Haiku) and kindness and forgiveness. This would be great for 4-5th graders. ( ) This story is a modern take on ancient Japanese folklore, and is a tribute to Basho, Japan’s most famous poet and the creator of the Haiku poem. In the story, Basho lives in the forest, where he shares the fruit of a cherry tree with the magical foxes that live nearby. One fox tries to trick him out of his share of cherries by magically turning stones into gold coins, but his trick backfires when Basho finds more worth and inspiration in the stones themselves than when he thought they were coins. As shame overwhelms the fox, he must find a way to make it right with the wise poet. The theme here is about finding beauty in the natural world, without getting caught up in material wealth, and there are elements of Japanese culture throughout the book. I read this book to second grade to connect with their classroom learning on haikus and Japanese culture. The children enjoy the trickery in the story and identifying the haikus incorporated into the text. Illustrations are detailed and richly colorful. Several Japanese words are woven into the story and the author's note provides biographical information on the Japanese poet, Basho. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
