Rec-Fest
Well, here is my last review for the blog-a-thon. It’s a keiki book from Kamahoi Press, an imprint of Bishop Museum Press. Proceeds from the sale of these books support Bishop Museum, so it’s a great way to support an important Hawaii institution. The Legend of Kuamo‘o Mo‘okini and Humumu, the Great Whale by Leimomi […]
We’re very excited that this award winning book has just come out as an ebook! There’s audio and sound effects to help your keiki read along and the colors just pop on a digital screen. To celebrate, we’re doing a keiki book review for our blog-a-thon! Surf’s Up for Kimo (Island Paradise Publishing, 2008) by […]

We are two hours into the First Book-Oahu Book Fair here at Barnes & Noble Kahala and it has been a busy day so far. We’ve already had Midweek’s “Click Chick” Alison Stewart read for storytime, followed by a wild appearance by Clifford the Big Red Dog which got an excited reception from the keiki […]
Story time has just begun and it’s my turn to blog a book review! I just finished singing “If You’re Happy and You Know It” with some First Book-Oahu volunteers, in front of about 30 kids! They’re all so adorable and happy. If you haven’t been to one of First Book-Oahu’s book fairs then you’re […]
