Basho and the Fox

(2) K-3 Illustrated by Oki S. Han. In this fictional tale about the seventeenth-century Japanese poet, Basho naively believes a fox who informs him that foxes are better poets than humans. Myers's gently humorous story uses familiar folktale and fable elements to good effect, while Han's watercolor paintings contain scenes reminiscent of the simple, spare appearance of haiku.
