It's such an "ear-opener" to experience poetry in all these different books and languages. <br /><br />NOTE: See how Junko is reading what looks like the LAST poem in the book-- but it's the FIRST poem in the book.

I thought I should come back to comment and saw that others thought it was "fascinating". I have often wondered about picture books around the world, but have had little luck finding answers to my questions. These posts have helped me to learn more about the books children around the world enjoy. The videos are enjoyable! Thanks, Sylvia, for these delightful posts.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08233792477358685156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31122236.post-64439648241638166872011-06-16T14:37:27.255-05:002011-06-16T14:37:27.255-05:00Funny, the very same word popped into my mind: fas...Funny, the very same word popped into my mind: fascinating!
