| Publisher Description: There are tons of things for a kid to do and see in Kauai, Hawaii, and award winning author, attorney and former teacher, Penelope Dyan, along with award winning photographer, John D. Weigand have combined their efforts once again to show you just a few of those things. You can kayak down a river, surf on the beach and you can see some fun and beautiful birds. Chickens run wild on Kauai, surviving all on their own, left over from early settlers, and the Hawaiian geese are a real treat to watch and they paddle right up to you. There is a lighthouse you can visit that is 100 years old, and it just had its birthday And the color green is abundant, as the mist and rain caress the island daily. In fact, Mount Wai?ale?ale (near the center of the island) is 5,148 feet (1,569 m) above sea level. And it is said to be one of the wettest spots on earth, with an annual average rainfall of a grand total of 460 inches Yes, you can go to a luau and eat out and do all those sorts of things; but you can also go bird watching, see a rainbow in a blowhole, and just lie under an umbrella on the beach and soak up the sun. This is why they call this place paradise This book is also an early reader so a kid can practice reading skills though word recognition and rhyme, and there is a music video on the Bellissimavideo YouTube Channel that goes along with this book for more educational fun |
