Maui – Book Two

Annie Kai Lani Kai Lou: Kauai’s Beloved Pup is a beautifully illustrated children’s sing-along book featuring the island adventures of English Springer Spaniel Annie Kai Lani Kai Lou—named in part after the famous Hawaiian queen and a word often associated with the sea and the sky. Annie’s island activities are as boundless as her energy—from ziplining, to sailing, golfing, surfing—even dancing at a luau with a Shih Tzu! The accompanying Hawaiian steel guitar and ukulele music features Bridget as vocalist in each of the 10 verses. You can listen to the music online or download to your own device to play while you read at www.anniekailani.com/singalong or scan the code inside your book. As a bonus, the music is offered both with and without page-turning prompts.

Parents and grandparents should know that this is an excellent selection for toddlers and early readers. It’s been shown that kids learn to read faster when words are set to music. Plus, with the Hawaiian island of Kauai as the backdrop for Annie’s adventures, children get to virtually explore the island making it a great choice for kids who’ve traveled (or will travel) with their families to Kauai. And it’s a pup! Kids love dogs and puppies… and kids love Annie!
