Laughing Gecko returns

The Gecko is considered good luck in Hawaii. This children's tale follow's up on the author's previous The Legend of the Laughing Gecko: a Hawaiian Fantasy, in which the Gecko character has various misadventures with other native Hawaiian animal life, such as the Nene Goose, and Black Bufo. The Gecko's crazy laugh gets him in hot water and then gets him out of trouble with Black Bufo (Bufo being the genus for toad, so you can guess what kind of animal it is). In this story, Gecko gets into further hot water, so to speak, but he surfs his way to the rescue and comes through in the end. By the way, the gecko, which is a lizard common in southeast Asian and the Pacific, gets its name from the fact that its call sounds just like "gecko."
