From looking at the cover of the book, I couldn't make any sense of the title. It's not even an easy word to say, with the hard "g" sound followed by the hard "k" sound. Go ahead! Try to say it out loud!
When I opened the book and read the inside cover flap, it became clearer, though it was still a bit muddy. The word "dogku" was related to the word "haiku." Okay, that made more sense.
Ah! On to the story itself, a story about a litle lost dog, a theme repeated, I'm sure, in many children's picture books.
What was unique about this book was that the whole story was told in haiku poems, one or two on each page, with a large coloured picture to carry the plot along.
Nothing too fancy, just your average 5-7-5 (syllables per line) three-line haikus.
Here's today's challenge: take a simple child's story (e.g., Cinderella, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, Hansel and Gretel, etc.) and rewrite it in haikus.
