I enjoyed reading this book for various reasons. The writing in this book is amazing! The book is poetry, haikus to be exact. Each page has a haiku describing an animal that you have to guess The animal is on the next page and then the next page is another haiku describing a particular animal. I enjoyed the writing so much because not only is it in haiku form, it keeps you engaged and guessing whats next. The language goes along with the writing in order to make this poetry book work. The language is descriptive, it describes each animal well so you know what animal to guess. The language is also patterned because before you flip to each page it says, " Can you guess who from his haiku?" The big picture in this book is the way animals can be described in a guessing game using poetry.… (mere)
