Wing Nuts: Screwy Haiku

Our featured book this week is Wing Nuts: Screwy Haiku by Paul B. Janeczko
Introducing senryu! What is a senryu?/A funny poem that is/Almost haiku-ckoo. The kissin' cousins of haiku, these short, punchy, and punny poems take every imaginable subject and make the reader look at life through a circus mirror. Tackling a wide range of child-friendly subjects (including babysitters, jump-roping, snoring parents, spoiled pets, and Grandpa's underwear), this spirited collection of senryu will leave children rolling in laughter as they untangle the riddles and word play. Hardcover · 32 pgs.
