Ann's Meeting in Maui
Jennifer Leslie
Paperback
(Jet Publications Inc., March 15, 2014)
This children's picture book is appealing to both boys and girls, ages 3 to 10, and features original, untouched photographs to complement the text. Ann is finally meeting her pen pal, Keoki, while on holiday in Maui, Hawaii. Will Ann find Keoki to be a bit pushy in person? Keoki shows Ann some of the sights, like Big Beach, Haleakala volcano, and the surfers at Ho'okipa. But Ann wants to do some sightseeing on her own, too. How will the pen pals like each other? With original, untouched photographs of spectacular Maui, this story of friendship can be read on its own, or as the third in the series following Ann at the Ocean and A Message for Ann. "Engaging, charming, delightful, creative" are a few of the descriptions our readers use for the Ann books by Jennifer Leslie. Ann becomes a friend to our young readers, who cherish her books. A map of Maui, Hawaii is included. The full-color photographs are fascinating to children. Page design encourages left-to-right, top-to-bottom reading skills.
