Pua and Heihei (Disney Moana)

by Suzanne Francis

A new Step 2 Step into Reading leveled reader based on Disney s "Moana," on DVD and Blu-ray in spring 2017!
Walt Disney Animation Studios "Moana" is a sweeping, CG-animated comedy-adventure about a spirited teenager on an impossible mission to fulfill her ancestors quest. In the ancient South Pacific world of Oceania, Moana, a born navigator, sets sail in search of a fabled island. During her incredible journey, she teams up with her hero, the legendary demi-god Maui, to traverse the open ocean on an action-packed voyage, encountering enormous sea creatures, breathtaking underworlds, and ancient folklore. In theaters in late 2016, the film is directed by the renowned filmmaking team of Ron Clements and John Musker ("The Little Mermaid, The Princess and the Frog, Aladdin").
This Step 2 Step into Reading leveled reader based on the film features over 30 shiny stickers. Perfect for children ages 4 to 6. Step 2 Readers use basic vocabulary and short sentences to tell simple stories. For children who recognize familiar words and can sound out new words with help.

Also an easy read, great in tone for kids.

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

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.

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.

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

Sivuhahmot pääosassa. Vauhtia riittää. Tarinaa vähemmän.

[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.

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:

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

Pua tries to Moana's anklet back to her before the festival starts.
