This is a lift the flap book that teaches creatures who are native to Hawaii. The book ends sweetly with the reader going to bed under a Hawaiian quilt by looking in a mirror to see themselves.
Wow, this book is so cool. Malia celebrates being Hawaiian, Japanese, Filipino and Chinese. The rhymes aren't forced and the pictures are joyful!
This is a great book about the relationship between Punky and her grandmother. When Punky is feeling shy her grandmother encourages her to share her ALOHA in three steps: Be helpful, be giving, be brave. Punky follows those directions for a happy ending!
This is a great "piggyback" on the THE THREE LITTLE PIGS. Hawaiian vocabulary and customs are woven into the book. The illustrations are great and the shark is laugh out loud hilarious!
This book was so beautiful and bright. And it celebrates a grandmother making a lei for her friend because it is her friend's birthday!
