Basho and the River Stones

32 pp. | Cavendish | September, 2004 | Trade ISBN 0-7614-5165-X $16.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Oki S. Han. This companion to Basho and the Fox is another clever tale about the famous Japanese poet and a fox. Ashamed after tricking the penniless but generous poet, a fox redeems himself with another trick, this time an honorable one. Han's watercolors elegantly convey both the action and the seventeenth-century Japanese setting. An author's note provides background on Basho.
