Also an easy read, great in tone for kids.

Ich habe seit einigen Wochen Einschlafschwierigkeiten und höre jetzt einfach die ganzen Disney Hörspiele auf Spotify rauf und runter. ;D

Ich mag die Musik aus Vaiana sehr gern und auch, dass die hawaiianische Kultur im Fokus steht. Nur leider konnte mich die Handlung bereits im Film nicht packen und hat mich ziemlich gelangweilt, und das war auch hier beim Hörbuch erneut der Fall. Hier konnten irgendwie keine Gefühle beim Hören bei mir geweckt werden, wie es bei anderen Hörspielen von Disney der Fall gewesen ist.

A typical tale in Heihei fashion; enjoyable and amusing for the kids with lovely illustrations.

Luimme tämän Disney-seikkailun töissä. Pidän tästä Disneyn kirjasarjasta, sillä kirjat sisältävät hienosti kuvitettuja aukeamia ja luettavaa on jokaisella aukealla sopiva määrä.

First! Good one

Disneyn Vaiana-elokuva oli upea lastenelokuva, josta meidän perheessä pitivät kaikki! Viimeinen viikko on mennyt enemmän ja vähemmän jutellessa, laulaessa tai muuten muistellessa kyseistä elokuvaa. Olin lievästi pettynyt tähän kauan odotettuun kirjaan - kirja kun tuli varattua jo muutama kuukausi sitten kirjaston kautta. Jopa kuuntelija kommentoi, että olipa huono tarina. Toivottavasti jatkossa Vaiana-kirjat jatkavat elokuvan viitoittamaa tietä vahvana kertojana, eivätkä sorru tämän kyseisen teoksen kaltaisiin mitättömyyksiin.

for the first book i read only in french it was not that easy to understand but quite a nice story

[Ramona Cantaragiu · Rating 2 out of 5]

I haven't seen the movie so I don't know the story so if you are like me you will probably not understand much from the book. Everything seems rushed and silly.

Nunca tinha lido, nem visto o filme
Gostei muito da história, toca na parte ambiental que é tão importante incutir desde miúdos.

This story is honestly hilarious.

This is a Step 2 book, recommended for preschool to grade 1. It uses short sentences and basic vocabulary.

Such a cute story. It really brought a smile to my face reading it. The book features Heihei making a mess of everything and sweet little Pua doing his best to fix it all. So adorable. I loved it. Cute illustrations and an easy-to-follow story that is humorous and entertaining.

Great for Moana fans, especially those who love Hehei and Pua. You really can't watch that movie without laughing at Heihei's shenanigans. Very fun to see his get into new predicaments.

I like this book because it's sort of about Moana, well, more about Pua and Heihei. And also it's also about Moana's papa, and Grandma tried to catch Heihei, and so you know what happens? He gets catched in a net and guess what: he is trapped!!! And he gets out because Pua breaks the net, well he tries to get it and puts it in the highest tree, but it doesn't break until he notices a little hole, and I don't know what happens next, but...
THE END

My children love these little books. They thoroughly enjoy each and every story, as if they are all unique and individual without any cause for similarity among them. Even though sometimes, they might seem tedious and repetitive to me as a parent, I do enjoy being able to read short-stories to my children that are clean and respective.

Äh, valitettavan tylsä Disney-kirja jälleen. Tässä ei ole jotenkin mitään samaa henkeä kuin Vaiana-leffassa. Kirja koostuu pitkälti sidekick-hahmojen Puan ja Heihein toilailuista, jotka toimisivat kirjaa paremmin esim. lyhytelokuvana. Kuvista kohellus ei oikein välity.

[Lady Books Dreamer · Rating 5 out of 5]

nunca compartiré el hecho de haber cambiado el nombre de la protagonista… pero bueno, ese no es el punto del día… La novela es una verdadera pasada, igual que lo fue la película en su día. Una aventura oceanográfica preciosa con unos elementos brutales que te enganchan desde el primer momento.

[Jesse · Rating 4 out of 5]

A sweet story taking place before the events of the movie. Moana's plans to make her father a gift for the yearly festival are both bungled and salvaged by her animal friends.

I know these are beginning readers, but the plots are so boring and bad

2.5/5 stars

[Tapani Aulu · Rating 2 out of 5]

Sivuhahmot pääosassa. Vauhtia riittää. Tarinaa vähemmän.

Das war wirklich ein Kinderbuch. Auch vom Schreibstil her mit den vielen abgehakten kurzen Sätzen.

[Ian McHugh · Rating 3 out of 5]

Simple story. Simple words. Pua and Heihei's adventure is a funny one.

Good to start reading with Eadie in March 2023.

1.5⭐️

[Eloise Sunshine · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is absolutely one of my all time favorite cartoons and the book is a nice enough summary of the story of how Moana saved her island and went on a desperate journey most likely to fail to return the heart of Te Fiti.
I just couldn't resist playing the songs as a soundtrack while reading this book to my little niece.

Acompaña a Vaiana en un inolvidable viaje.
Vaiana es una joven intrépida y tenaz que se siente inexplicablemente atraída hacia el océano. Animada por su abuela, emprende un viaje lleno de aventuras en busca de la verdad sobre sus antepasados y sobre su propia identidad.

We loved Moana, and this book was a funny little side story that uses the characters well.

We talk Moana and more in this special episode of the All the Books Show:

Beautiful pictures from the movie, describing the story as is in the disney fairytale. Very less dialogues and too many names mentioned is making it a bit difficult to follow, if you haven't seen the disney movie yet.

[Sanna lukee lapselle · Rating 5 out of 5]

Meillä ei ole vielä katsottu Vaianaa elokuvana, mutta tähän kirjaan 4-vuotias ihastui täysillä. Tarina on tullut myös leikkeihin, joissa lapsi haluaa olla joko Vaiana tai laavademoni Te Kā. Äidille tai isälle jää osaksi olla Maui, jee. En ihmettelisi vaikka osaisin kohta tämän kirjan ulkoa.

[Michelle Castro Beltrán · Rating 5 out of 5]

Amo este libro, amo la película y amo ver en relato como los antiguos polinesios cruzaron los mares para poblar todas las islas del triangulo polinesio, desde Hawai'i hasta Rapa Nui, pasando por Tahiti, Samoa, Figi y Aotearoa (Nueva Zelanda).

[Beckie · Rating 4 out of 5]

Another great beginning reader book that ties in with Disney's Moana. Super cute.
