4.0 out of 5 stars Somewhat eclectic, but if you're from the islands or love the islands, you'll love this album, June 18, 2009

This review is from: Pidgin English Children's Stories (MP3 Download)

I was born in Hawaii in the early 60's and grew up listening to this album (many, many times!), so it was with great pleasure that I saw it had been re-released to a new generation of listeners. Even if you don't speak pidgin', listening to just one of these stories will quickly enlighten you as to why Kent Bowman is something of a Hawaiian cultural treasure. If there is anything else like this collection of "interpretations" of classic children's stories anywhere else on the planet, I'll be highly surprised. This one-of-a-kind collection should be of interest to both kids and cultural anthropologists alike, so grab it before it disappears once more into the mists of history!
