Poetry 2

Dogku

When Mooch comes to the back steps of a house he is unsure whether he will allowed to stay.  When the children leave for school Mooch gets into a little trouble.  Will Mooch be welcomed into the family?  This is a story form book that is written solely in haiku.  This is a different kind of poetry book because it revolves around an actual story.

Rating 4 out of 5 stars.  This is a book for younger children probably about second grade and younger because of the simplicity and simple wording.  It is a cute story and introduces children to poetry in a small subtle way through haiku. However, the story does not exactly flow at all times because of the haikus.  I liked the book, but it did not really seem like a poetry book.
