This is actually book twelve in the series of "The Adventures of Bella & Harry". Bella and Harry are sister and brother Chihuahuas that, along with their family, take kids on adventures to different locations around the world and show them the different cultures, customs, traditions, and landmarks.
To find out more and give your children a chance to interact with Bella & Harry you can head over to their site here where there are online study guides, coloring print outs, and games.
Mommy in GA: my 10 year old said she loved this book, it is a really great way to teach children as far as teaching differant islands and they used some hawiian language. It was good because they used pictures and maps and showed examples of the things they were talking about so it was a good way to learn!
My 9 year old said " i like it but there is too much learning about stuff i can learn at school."
She obviously only wants to read for fun not too absorb anything real lol.
My 6 year old says "nothing"
He is big on description!!

Mommy in PA: This was a great learning adventure for me and the kids though my youngest said he already knew most of the stuff in the book (He is a tad bit of an overachiever...LOL). He kept interrupting my reading with other facts he knew which made the book that much more special.
My daughter and I both agreed that the pictures were gorgeous (and that's something coming from a 17 year old). Every page is completely covered with beautiful art.
I also love that they use a good selection of the native languages although I would really have loved it if they would have included a page in the front or back that had word pronunciations for the tricky words. The page with all the island names had my kids looking at me a little goofy because I didn't know how to pronounce them all : )
These would make great books to have available in the classroom for learning geography and about native languages and cultures.
