Product info

<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A book of irresistible and deceptively simple sijo poems that illuminate the funny, unexpected, amazing aspects of the everyday--of breakfast, thunder and lightning, houseplants, tennis, freshly laundered socks.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Sijo, a traditional Korean verse form, has a fixed number of stressed syllables and a humorous or ironic twist at the end. Like haiku, sijo are brief and accessible. The verses in this book illuminate funny, unexpected aspects of the everyday--of breakfast, houseplants, tennis, freshly washed socks. Carefully crafted and deceptively simple, Linda Sue Park's sijo are a pleasure to read and an invitation to experiment with an unfamiliar poetic form. Istvan Banyai's giddy illustrations add a one-of-a-kind luster to a book that is truly a gem.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Fresh and collegial, this offering stands out."--<i>Kirkus Reviews, </i> starred review</p><p>"Banyai's illustrations enhance the collection with an extra element of wit and imaginative freedom."--<i>Horn Book</i></p><p>"Park wants readers to try sijo for themselves, and in an extensive author's note she offers history, advice and encouragement."--<i>Publishers Weekly</i></p><p>"A smart and appealing introduction to an overlooked poetic form."--<i>School Library Journal, </i> starred review</p><p>"With this lighthearted collection of her own sijo, the form will take a flying leap into the consciousness of both children and teachers."--<i>Booklist, </i> Starred Review</p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Linda Sue Park</b> is the author of the Newbery Medal book <i>A Single Shard, </i> many other novels, and several picture books<i>.</i> She lives in Rochester, New York, with her family.
