What a delightful book of haiku poetry!  Written and illustrated by guys, it is filled with poems about the many things boys do outside.  Bob Raczka shares special moments from each season as boys enjoy a romp outdoors.  Haiku is a short poem of 3 lines, about nature, and told in the present – a perfect form of poetry for active boys.  Ink and watercolor illustrations by Peter Reynolds do a beautiful job of depicting the simple innocence of the poems.  However, one does not need to be a boy to thoroughly enjoy the sights, sounds, and imagination of an active person spending wonderful hours with nature.  This book lends itself to many topics used in the classroom as well as being a thoroughly pleasurable read.
