Editorial Reviews

Review

"(Sleeping Bear's) niche is alphabet books that not only teach letters, but facts, culture and history about each of the 50 states. Their Hawaii effort draws on the talents of master storyteller Goldsberry and fantastic illustrator Yee and is a gold mine of cleverly presented data about the 50th state. Each letter also uses the mnemonic of a sing-song couplet poem to remember the lesson. Clever package, well-presented."
~Burl Burlingame, Honolulu Star Bulletin

    Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

    I'm the author and/or illustrator of more than 36 books and a part-time butterfly wrangler. When I'm not creating books, I enjoy designing origami and paper models for kids.

    Growing up in Honolulu, Hawaii, I explored tide pools, caught crayfish in island streams, and collected monarch caterpillars from crown flower trees to raise into butterflies.

    My mother, an elementary school custodian, never skimped on books. She splurged on a set of World Book Encyclopedias, and I spent hours leafing through the gilt-edged pages. Starting with A for ancient Anatolia, I trekked through the gardens of Babylonia, immersed myself in Cleopatra's man troubles, and explored the ziggurats of Mesopotamia.

    Mom also subscribed me to Parent Magazine's Book-of-the-Month Club, which hooked me on picture books and inspired me to write and illustrate spooky stories my teachers politely read. And so began my journey writing and illustrating books!

Love it! The images are colorful. There's culture and connections to Hawai'i. It's definitely the English alphabet not the Hawaiian one.

There is a lot of very interesting facts about Hawai'i. I learnt a lot from this picture book: that it was a kingdom, that's its on the largest mountain range in the world, that 1/3 of world pineapples come from Hawai'i and much more. The illustrations were beautiful, too. I was happy to learn that both the author and the illustrator are native Hawaiians.

5.0 out of 5 stars A big hit for kids as well as adults
Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2009

Bought this book to be given from my children to their grandparents who live in Hawaii. Illustrations are BEAUTIFUL! Also love that it can be read different ways - each letter has both a short rhyme as well as a longer informational section. My kids loved hearing the book read with the rhymes for each letter, "A is for..." The grandparents loved (in addition to reading the book to their grandkids) learning new and interesting facts about their state and commented often, "I didn't know that!"
Overall very pleased with this book and this series in general!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great intro to Hawaii
Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2011

I bought this book for my grandchildren who were moving to Hawaii with the Navy. Although too old for them at the time, it served as a wonderful introduction to HI for my other two grandchildren who went the next summer to visit their aunt and family. I have just given it to my niece's children to help them plan for a trip to visit their cousins in the next year. The varying levels of information contained in this book make it one that can grow with the children.
