Hawaii

Readers learn that Hawaii has only two seasons: wet and dry. Easy-to-read text and large, inviting photographs show the changing seasons and explain how humans, animals, and plants are affected. The book's design underscores the differences: light orange pages decorated with stylized suns (dry season) alternate with green pages decorated with rain (wet). Back matter provides additional information for adults.

Illustrated by
Fred E., Jr. Salmon.
The first part of this natural history picture book recounts a year in the life of a male Kolea, or Pacific golden plover; the second half presents detailed factual information about the bird. Heavy oil paintings stronger at depicting landscape than wildlife accompany the overlong, and at times rather dull, text. Glos.
