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.

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.

I LOVE this book/CD combo. I live in Hawaii half the year and bought it for my daughter when she was 3. The tunes to the nursery rhymes are catchy and easy on the ears for us adults! The lyrics and photos in the book are very creative and educational, yet fun! The book also comes with a glossary of Hawaiian terms with phonetic pronunciation, which is very helpful.
I have purchased numerous copies of this as gifts for friends and family. Most recently I purchased one for the first grade and kindergarten teachers at my daughter's Ohio school. They were having a Hawaiian theme and the kids love it!
The author personally signs the book when you order from this site, another plus which makes your gift more meaningful.

The book arrived quickly in excellent condition. It is a "kick", really funny

how the author took off on traditional Mother Goose rhymes and gave them

a Hawaiian flavor "Shark Boy ate no poi, his sister ate no fish, etc."

It does give some ideas about the traditions and language. B. Sahota
