Basho and the River Stones by Tim Myers
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.
Tim Myers is a writer, storyteller, and songwriter living in Santa Clara, California. He and his wife have three children, all bibliomaniacs. Tim has always loved river stones-and he shares fruit with talking animals whenever he can. He recently retold another Japanese tale, Tanuki's Gift.
