This children's book is very well illustrated. The artwork is full of tropical flowers in every shape and variety, shorelines, and little creatures: colorful lizards, butterflies, vibrant dragonflies, birds, fish, frogs, and crabs. You definitely get the feel of the Hawaiin Islands. The colors are bold and vivid, yet the feeling you get from the pages is restful and serene. The stories are well written and flow well with language that children will readily understand yet is not simplistic. The tales are not long; each can be read in one sitting. These are 10 Hawaiin fables. Each ends with pithy one line moral.I bought this book to go along with Hula outfits that I purchased for my granddaughter's American Girl dolls. A nice introduction to the gifts and a nice compliment to the outfits.
