Introduction

There are many ways to teach children about other places where they have not been. This book not only gives facts about the Hawaiian Islands, but also acquaints the reader with the ancestral language of the peoples of the Fiftieth State of the United States. Although the introductory “Facts About Hawaii” is written primarily for the teacher or adult reader, the pictures and captions can be enjoyed by people of all ages.

We feel that children or adults can absorb new words when the pictures accompany them. Some of the pictures are humorous, therefore making learning and reading more enjoyable to the child. Simple subjects have been used in order that the child might recognize them readily. They have also been used in sentences for more complete comprehension.

We hope this book provides interest and enjoyment for its readers, since we have had such a good time compiling and illustrating it.

The authors wish to express their thanks to Mrs. A. L. Adair, Jr., a former resident of Hawaii, and Mrs. Virginia Wallace, for their generous advice and assistance during the preparation of the book.
