A funny retelling of a famous myth. I liked the illustrations and how it was fit for kids ages 1 to 4 because it has little Māori words in it.

This a pretty good book for older children I did not get some of the words in it but it does have some good Maori slang.

This book had amazing illustrations and the story was worth reading. Donovan Bixley had written it very nicely giving you the real feel of how Maui felt with his elder brothers braging about how good and the types of fish they caught on their secret fishing spot. But the brothers really were supremely fascinated by what Maui had caught a fish as big as an island. I rate this book to read for anyone who is interested in reading.

This was a great book and talked about how the angel’s stole the stars and did bad stuff to them like making the clothes and breaking and hiding them under the sand. It was amazing of how the two children saved the stars. Irate it to anyone who wants to read books.
