I think the premise is ideal…
I think the premise is ideal as a focus for young children to learn. I did sense a lack of a continuing thread as one illustration leads on to another, especially in the earlier part. The Haiku might not be as effective as a more conventional rhyming pattern and feels a bit too limiting in terms of its 'message'.
