On Frederick Wichman's third collection of Kaua'i legends, esteemed Hawaiian editor and translator, Esther T. Mookini writes, "I was delighted with Kaua'i Tales in 1985 and then charmed by Polihale and Other Kaua'i Legends in 1991. Now, with More Kaua'i Tales, I am again entertained with more of Frederick Bruce Wichman's enchanting retelling of tales of the island he knows so very well. Bruce's familiarity with Hawaiian words beckons the reader into his place with great hospitality. He knows the meaning of aloha. He has collected old tales of Kaua'i over the years and is now unselfish in sharing them. He invites us all to know Kaua'i as Kaua'i folks know their island of Manokalanipö.

"Shake it to the East, Shake it to the West, Shake it to the one that you love best" tells the message of the story. The trickster spider gets Granny to dance in all directions so he can raid her garden. In the end, she tricks him into dancing with her. His music is irresistible to her and her dancing is irresistible to him. This is a lyrical adaptation of a West Indian folktale. The abstract sketches of Granny and the trickster help develop the characters and silliness. You can see the movement and feel the rhythm of the characters as they dance. I think children would laugh at the granny dancing and it also teaches a lesson. I think that this book would be great to read as a class with the students. It teaches a valuable lesson while making them laugh. I think this would fall into being one of the children's favorites and it has a catchy phrase that I quoted above.
