I recently read A Single Shard and couldn't put it down until I was done. Yeah for Linda Sue Park!Kerry Aradhyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14099941502319174759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9195683385757827140.post-15693377772258916762011-10-07T17:07:07.416-07:002011-10-07T17:07:07.416-07:00I absolutely love everything about this book. And...I absolutely love everything about this book. And I was delighted when my younger son, quite a while after we'd read it together, came out with the title poem when I was trying to explain long division to him. Once he'd connected it with the poem, he got the hang of it straight away!Marjoriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12143499864104883745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9195683385757827140.post-82333888443956454942011-10-07T13:02:21.105-07:002011-10-07T13:02:21.105-07:00This is a great, great book -- I recommend it ofte...This is a great, great book -- I recommend it often to kids (and grownups) who love haiku.

I particularly enjoy his wordless picture books which we have featured extensively sometime March/April I think of this year when we had our wordless picture book theme. I love Banyai's play in perspective and it would be interesting to see how he illustrated verse. Thanks for sharing this.GatheringBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04477710897574769648noreply@blogger.com
