I took off one star due to the fact that all the people in this book are drawn fat and not enough truth was relayed regarding the takeover of Hawaii by the American capitalists-yes Hawaii was stolen for profit. However, this little guide is excellent in every other way: lots of Hawaiian words, ancient & traditional crafts, great maps & drawings, good immigrant/ethnic coverage, important state facts, & plenty of flora & fauna. Great for Hawaiian vacations, state reports, learning the USA, and for parents/teachers wanting a quick overview. Great value.

These coloring books about Hawaii's plants and animals and the Story of Hawaii are very educational yet fun for children to color. It helped us learn a little more about Hawaii before we actually travelled there with our kids. Aloha!

This is a beautifully done coloring book that also gives great insight into Hawaiian culture and history. Anyone who has ever experienced a Dover coloring book will know what to expect - if you have not, I encourage you to try one out! They are wonderful for children, but also for adults, too! Coloring is very relaxing, and what better way to prepare for a trip to the islands than to color gorgeous drawings of hula girls, Hawaiian foods and plants, beautiful flowers, and historical figures. Great book, I highly recommend it!
