momstown went on the hunt for Luau / Hawaiian-themed children's books - perfect for a themed play group or beach party. Here are a few of our favourites:

 

A is for Aloha – A Hawaii Alphabet by U’ilani Goldsberry   

a is for alohaTakes the reader through the alphabet while learning about Hawaii. A bit text heavy, so recommended for older ‘listeners’. It's got some great information and learning about Hawaii to kick off a beach luau!

 


Hula Lullaby by Erin Eitter Kono   

hula lullabyBeautiful illustrations accompany rhyming text. A mother and child snuggle while watching dancers, listening to instruments, and sending them off to sleep. A nice way to show children elements of Hawaiian culture through the illustrations and text.

 


Beach Party!  by Harriet Ziefert   

beach partyAn action book celebrating animals on the beach. Children can scoot like a crab, slither like an eel, walk like a penguin, trek like a turtle to join the beach party!

 

 

 

 

Teach children the Hukilau – a great way to get them moving and enjoying the music!
