Customer Reviews

Good, clean, multi-cultural fun!

On a recent trip to Kona, I spotted this book. I read it to my almost 2-year-old and he got quite a kick out of it. I like that all the adventures the menehunes exit on are fairly harmless. Some of the 10 Little...or 5 Little...themed books that I have read have the characters disappear under less favorable circumstances. I think my son is a bit young for that, and this book met my standards. I was delighted that I was able to pronounce the Hawaiian numbers for my son with the aid of the pronunciation guide. I know this is a tool he'll be able to use later on and it may even aid him when he starts using a dictionary. I think this book was a lot of fun, but found the first few pages (foreword and such) a bit cumbersome. After leafing past that...it was just great reading!

Teacher's tool

I've given this book to my son's Preschool and Kindergarten teachers and have received rave reviews from them and the kids. The classic cadence of the "Ten Little Indians" is easy for them to follow, and the Hawaiian version just makes it fun (and educational).
