Adorable! A Great Cultural Tool Jul 09, 2007
By KTeacher
I ordered this book for my daughter, who was adopted from the Philippines. Bright, colorful pictures, full of fun facts on culture and language, this book is perfect, particularly for adopted children or Filipino children born in the US. This book would a great asset for introducing Filipino language and culture in an elementary school classroom. I will be buying another copy to add to my classroom library.

Love it! Sep 24, 2008
By Filipina Mommy
I bought this so that my son could learn Tagalog, even though I don't speak it. My dad is a native speaker and lives 3 hours away, so I recorded him reading it to my son. We watch the video and follow along in the book. I also love it because it shows the cultural differences in a way that he can understand. After getting the book, I ordered another one to send to my niece. I highly recommend it!

 Filipino Friends book review Sep 25, 2007
By Goatie
"Bilingual Mommy"
My 2 and 3/4 year old son loves this book and requests for it everyday. He specifically loves for me to sing the song "Bahay Kubo" and point out the vegetables pictures in the book. He is actually learning how to sing "Bahay Kubo" even though he really doesn't know what the words mean. The loves the character Sam, and I love to point out pictures which I say in English and Tagalog.

Perfect for 2nd generation Filipino-Americans Dec 26, 2008
By twin mom
Bought this book for my 3 sons so that they may learn a bit about their heritage before they go to the Philippines for a first visit. The story is about a young boy named Sam who visits the Philippines for the first time. He is at first a little nervous, but along the way learns about the filipino culture (seasons, food, family, parties, sights, etc.) and by the end of the book enjoys and feel comfortable with his Fiipino relatives and environment. I'm buying another one for my goddaughter. Would highly recommend!

Great book for Filipino Americans :) Jan 18, 2008
By Momma M
Loved this book. Can't wait to read my daughter this book and let her know a little bit about her heritage. The book also helped me review Tagalog as I'm not the greatest speaker since I am American born and my own parents not passing on the language.
