This review is from: The Best Hawaiian Style Mother Goose Ever! (Book and Sing-Along Cassette) (Hardcover)

This is a very amusing book sent to us by friends in Hawaii. The new words to old favorites are easy to remember. It is a great way to introduce children to common Hawaiian words and elements of Hawaiian culture. The illustrations are well done and colorful. "Go Go Gecko" and "Three Big Pigs" are our favorites. Don't be surprised if your children want Tutus and slippers! I would definitely consider giving Hawaiian Style Mother Goose to friends, especially those with a Hawaiian connection.

This review is from: The Best Hawaiian Style Mother Goose Ever! (Book and Sing-Along Cassette) (Hardcover)

My daughter loves it and found it the next best thing to Barney. We just put her down for the night and she went to sleep willingly and easily after our 5th reading. I like reading it to her because of the colorful artwork and because it reminds me of our last trip to Hawaii

Mother Goose with a Hawaiian flair. This book comes with a wonderful CD for adults and children to join in and sing these rhymes. I have read the book and listened to the CD only a handful of times, and still find myself and my son humming or singing some of them as we play.
