Summary: This book contains a Haiku for days of each seasons. Each Haiku is geared for the genre of boys and it starts off with the season of spring and activities that boys do in that season. As each season goes on, it talks about how the weather changes and how the activities change along with it.
I would use this book in the classroom for a unit on Haikus. I could incorporate it with the different seasons of the year and the activities that coincide with them. I would also ask the students to discuss or write about any activities that they do in the different seasons. They could write their own Haiku for the classroom.
