Filipino Friends

Learning Tagalog and wanting to teach my kids. This book is great and gives great insight into some aspects of the culture. It's a great tool to practice my vocab and the pictures are beautiful.

We love that it has a story aside from teaching/translating english words to tagalog. My son loves the book! Great start to teach Fil-Am children their other language.

I enjoyed learning with him and learning more Filipino words with him and his Lolo. It’s fun to watch my son learn about his Filipino culture.

I appreciate the contents of this book. It is an excellent way of introducing Filipino culture to my young children, ages 1 and 3. My 85-year-old grandmother was pleased to read the contents and see the illustrations. I have found it accurate, and it has made me long for my time in the Philippines.

I got this book so my daughter can learn about part of her culture. My husband needed to correct certain words in the book because it wasn’t accurate.

I gave this book a 5-star rating because it is an excellent book in teaching children about the Philippines, especially children who have Filipino parents or grandparents. When I gave this to my grandchildren, they quickly learned the Filipino translations and when I sang Bahay Kubo towards the end of the book, my 5-year old granddaughter quickly memorized the whole song while her 9-year old brother was able to play the music in his toy flute. Also, even if they have never visited the Philippines, the book describes Filipino life, so not only do they learn the translations of words, but also Filipino lifestyle. This book is better at teaching Tagalog than flash cards or a dictionary because of the illustrations that make the words more real and interesting. It also becomes a source of conversation which enhances the child-parent/grandparent experience.

This is an outstanding book.Bought it for my preschooler who shared it w their class. The school is Jewish and my child is from a blended family and this book helped the mostly Jewish heritage understand my child's (blended w) Filipino heritage.Easy to follow.Beautifully illustrated.Relatable story.Kid engagement.

Such a cute book! I bought it for my godson for his birthday. Before giving it to him, I read through the book and was very pleasantly entertained myself. I was born in the Philippines and moved here at a young age. It was almost nostalgic reading through the different aspects of the culture (family, play time, food, etc.) discussed in this book. My boyfriend isn't Filipino so I showed it to him and he said it might even be a good introductory book to the Filipino culture for adults! Overall, very satisfied with the content, text and pictures in the book.

My son is 2 and just learning some Tagalog so this has been a good one for him. He can recognize things that he knows in English and we practice memorizing the Tagalog translations, and so far it has been good for him.

Very good for children

Loved this book! Covers a range of topics, colourful and even has calamansi juice recipe. Great book to introduce the language to your toddler.

It said read sample, it went ahead and charged me $10.00. I don't even have a kindle. Now i really don't want to read this book. So upset!

Good quality of teaching yhem tagalog my 5 years old like reading to her sister which is 2 years old they love it.
