Abstract
Here are ten new fables, with clear didactic lessons for today. So the first fable, The Moray Eel and the Little Shrimp, is an effective remake of LM, with the appropriate moral, An act of kindness, no matter how small, should never be forgotten (7). These stories do for the sea what Hayashi and Bishop's 1998 book, Fables from the Garden, had done on land. Some of the best illustrations are those bringing together various animals, like The 'Iwa's Theft on 8-9 and The Impolite Hermit Crab on 12-13. There are notes on 36-39 on the Hawaian sea creatures and birds presented in this book. Hayashi is a district court judge in Honolulu. The author and illustrator were childhood friends.
