5.0 out of 5 stars What a wonderfully funny and creative story!, June 29, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Three Little Hawaiian Pigs and the Magic Shark (Hardcover)

This book was hilarious and my First grade students absolutely loved it! We used the book to compare and contrast the original fairy tale to this unique Hawaiin re-telling. I can't describe to you the fun we had reading this story together. It's a great addition to a teacher's collection of books dealing with Hawaii.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Three Hawaiin Pigs and the Magic Shark, January 14, 2003

A Kid's Review

This review is from: The three little Hawaiian pigs and the magic shark (Hardcover)

I liked the story because I once lived in Hawaii. I also like to go fishing. I went to the beach once. I like to eat shaved ice. So does my dad. I would tell a friend to read this book because it is in a fun place - Hawaii!
