Description
Originally published as a reader by Lahainaluna Press in 1834, this collection of four-footed animal descriptions features a Hawaiian and English text. Each sketch is accompanied by a reproduction of an original woodblock print. A sort of picture-zoo for young Hawaiʻi students who had never seen most of the animals presented in the book, it functioned as both a language text and a nature book. The text provides literal English translations of the Hawaiian text and offers a valuable document for current Hawaiian language students, scholars and linguists.
