Editorial Reviews:
In the age-old tradition of teaching language through rhyme and verse, My First Book of Tagalog Words introduces Philippine language and culture to preschool children in a playful and non-intimidating way. The ABC structure provides a familiar framework that encourages fun and easy learning. Its bold and bright illustrations aim to make children laugh and enjoy the learning process.

Summary: My First Book of Tagalog Words, Filipino Rhymes and Verses
Comment: The second portion of the title, "filipino rhymes and verses" is very misleading. The book just has one Tagalog word for each letter of the alphabet, the rhymes and verses to introduce each word are all in English. I found the text to be very poor.

Summary: Language for children
Comment: The book wasn't exactly what I thought it would be but it is a cute book and does have some words in it that are "learnable". I bought it for my grandson. He likes the pictures.

Summary: Its just OK.
Comment: Its ok, but not great. My son and I love the graphics and colors, but the text is lacking. The author writes a disclaimer in the beginning that she added non-traditional letters like C, X, and Z etc. (due to the Spanish and American influences on the country), but what disappointed me was that the traditional sound "Ng" from the real Tagalog alphabet was missing. So many Tagalog words start with "Ng", so she shouldnt have left this out. Otherwise, its ok.

Summary: Fun to read!
Comment: I bought this book for my two children. My son who is 2 and my daughter who is 7 months. I am half Filipino but can not speak Tagalog fluently. The chosen entries for the book brought back quite a few memories. I hope that with a book like this one and others if I can find them will help the kids become familiar with Tagalog. So far, they seem to enjoy it. My son loves the bright illustrations. I like the simplicity. I just wish I could find another version for American born Tagalog speakers.
