About
the Book
The great poet Basho lives in the woods and
shares the cherries from his cherry tree with the local foxes. But one tricky
fox becomes greedy—he uses his magic to turn three river stones into gold
coins and then tricks Basho into giving up all of the cherries. When the fox
returns to gloat over his victory, he discovers that Basho is content. Wiser
than the fox, Basho knows that a poem inspired by the beauty of the river stones
is more valuable than gold. Oki S. Han’s watercolors evoke ancient Japan
in this sequel to the
New York
Times
bestseller
Basho and the
Fox.
