At first you may wonder why. A whole book of haiku about...bread toasters. Because yes, it's sheer nonsense! But just start leafing through and wait until this unique idea starts growing on you and you'll soon realize how brilliant, funny, and groundbreaking this collection of illustrated poems is.
Plus,
the straightforward yet effective black and white drawings, a great
complement to the poetry, will often help the reader to understand
the situation depicted in the verse and catch all the nuances of the
text.
Needless to say, children will love these cutish illustrations of toasters running around and the short poems are the perfect first reading with mom and dad.
The 5-7-5 toaster response to surrealism, this booklet is unmissable if you're a fan of English haiku and...toasters, of course!
