Groundwood Books Ltd ,Canada A Pond a Poet and Three Pests
Book SynopsisA funny new fable about artistic creation and chasing fame, imagined by award-winning author Caroline Adderson, and inspired by one of Japan's most famous haikus, The Old Pond.Basho, a 17th-century poet on an evening walk, stops to rest next to a murky old pond. Here, readers may expect he will encounter the frog that inspired his renowned poem:Old pondFrog jumps inSplash!But before the frog came the mosquito, who smells blood: My life? it whines, It could fill a book of poetry! And before the mosquito came the lily, who perfumes the air, hoping to be immortalized in a poem. And before the lily came the carp, who flutters its tail in the poet's face.In a twist that would have delighted Basho, a Zen Buddhist, the fame-seeking creatures cause only their own suffering. Instead, the inspiration for Basho's poem comes from a frog that only wants a morning swim. Splash!Illustrator Lauren Tamaki, winner of the Sibert Medal, paints a memorable cast of characters with great wit and empathy. Her swirling inks bridge the story's traditional setting and its lightly modern lesson about fame, inspiration, and art.Includes end matter with information about Basho and haiku.Key Text Featuresbiographical informationbiographical notedialoguefurther informationhistorical contexthistorical noteillustrationsinformational noteliterary referencespoemsCorrelates to the Common Core State Standards in English Language Arts:CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.1.2Retell stories, including key details, and demonstrate understanding of their central message or lesson.CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.1.4Identify words and phrases in stories or poems that suggest feelings or appeal to the senses.CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.1.7Use illustrations and details in a story to describe its characters, setting, or events.

Groundwood Books Ltd ,Canada Nightmare Jones
Book SynopsisA collection of jaunty and mischievously unsettling poems for middle-grade readers from award-winning poet Shannon Bramer and artist Cindy Derby, who brought us Climbing Shadows (NCTE Notable Poetry Book and Verse Novel, shortlisted for the Rocky Mountain Book Award). Shannon's twenty-eight poems in Nightmare Jones send delightful shivers down the spine. Written in a variety of styles and forms, they encompass magic realism and influences from fairy tales, folklore and ghost stories, alongside more contemporary explorations of unusual creatures, misunderstood monsters and commonplace human fears (both ridiculous and sublime!). Cindy Derby's evocative line and watercolor illustrations inhabit these weird and wonderful works with her characteristic flair for the strange and witchy wonders of the world. In these poems what makes a person scared might also make them sad, or even make them laugh, as Bramer writes from a place of wonder, empathy, curiosity and reverence for the deep dark woods we all have inside us. If you've ever wanted to spend some time in a witch's garden or wondered what spiders do with our worries, this is the poetry book for you!Key Text Featuresdialogueepigraphillustrationspoemsrecipestable of contentsvignettesCorrelates to the Common Core State Standards in English Language Arts:CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.5.2Determine a theme of a story, drama, or poem from details in the text, including how characters in a story or drama respond to challenges or how the speaker in a poem reflects upon a topic; summarize the text.
