A crisply designed, elegantly illustrated counting book introduces elements in a formal Japanese garden. Each straightforward haiku, one per double-page spread, is accompanied by a brief note that elaborates on such topics as bonsai, pagodas, and the tea ceremony. A final spread shows the entire garden, with each of the objects easy to find and count.
