This is a very good introduction to Cook Islands Maori. Each point is simply explained, with lots of examples. You won't be fluent in Maori, but you can hold simple conversations. If you buy the tapes as well, it's the next best thing to being in Rarotonga, except you don't get the beaches and the food.

In addition to being a wonderful neighbor, Jean Rogers is an incredible writer of children's books. This book transports the reader (of any age) to a world which, for most of us, is just a far-off land. It welcomes us to the beauty of Eskimo customs and celebrations, and warms the heart with the Christmas spirit. It is a definite must-buy for parents or friends of children who will grow up sensitive to the world around them

A very funny and insightful satire on the social scene and politics of life in the Pacific Islands. I recognized alot of situations and types of people I know, and felt it was told with great humor, a sharp eye, good storytelling and a wonderful sense of humanity.

The book is very accurate and a great guide to the islands, I recommend it to all first time visitors- don't forget to visit the ragga club on the east side, the owner also has great living accomadations on the ocean for the tourist.

I read this book several years ago for a class on "Magic, Witchcraft and Religion" at Wichita State University. Though it's written on the doctoral level, I was able to get a goodly amount of valuable information concerning this ancient tribe from a third-world country. It gracefully lines out the reasons for the failure of the Christian Model to take hold with this people. It is interesting to note that the Kwaio remain a happy and vibrant people with a rich spiritual heritage of their own. To spoil that with Christian ideology would be a travesty.

This Usborne text is an excellent, active pictoral reader for early elementary school children who have learned some French and corresponding English words and want to master the transition in a fun and lively way. Even adults will find this colorful reader 'tres amusant' and helpful to develop better fluency. Also ideal for an early middle school child who is just starting to learn either French or English, and is fluent in the other. Will be read over and over again and passed down as a reading treasure.
