The title is really what caught my attention (puns). It is a bunch of Haiku's that tell a story and show the seasons changing throughout the year. This book isn’t really for kids maybe with your help but I wouldn’t just hand this to a 1st grader to read alone. The illustrations were great with the pages gradually changing to show the changes of the seasons. Overall a beautiful book, I’m not a big fan of haikus, but this book was good. This poetry book was great. It is basically made up of a bunch of Haiku's that tell a story and show the seasons changing throughout the year. I also liked how the author played with the word "Haiku" and made the title "Hi, Koo!" Overall, the panda in the book experiences all the seasons and tells of stories and events that are involved with those seasons.What I noticed was how you could see the seasons changing gradually throughout the book. It wasn't a drastic change that was abrupt with one page being fall and the next automatically switching to winter. It was like you were experiencing all of the seasons like they naturally occur, which I thought was great. I also enjoyed how the seasons were so easily conveyed through just three lines of words. This just shows how important word choice can really be and how sometimes you can convey a certain message with just one word.
Loved the illustrations, the story in Haiku were fun as well. He's a great artist.
