 Its just OK. Oct 03, 2007
By Goatie
"Bilingual Mommy"
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.

 My First Book of Tagalog Words Jun 19, 2007
By A. Raymundo
I'm disappointed with this book. I was expecting more words in tagalog but there are only 26 words - one for each letter of the alphabet. The last letter of the alphabet Z is for zipper which is the same as English.

 My First Book of Tagalog Words: Filipino Rhymes and Verses May 12, 2007
By Carolyn Simmons
I purchased this book for my grandson. He is only four and one half months old. When I gave the book to my grandson's parents they were thrilled. Many of the Fliipino people speak both English and Tagalog. The parents read this book to their son. He will be hearing the Tagalog words and will have a good start to becoming familiar with the Filipino Words. I will also be looking at Amazon for other books of this type. Even I can remember some of the Tagalog words.

 My First Book of Tagalog Words, Filipino Rhymes and Verses Nov 12, 2008
By E. Reyes
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.

A good book to pass on your culture May 12, 2007
By Marissa Ocampo
"marissa"
I am american born, so I don't speak Tagalog fluently, but I understand it. I wanted my 5 year old to appreciate her culture, and use basic words like I do. This was a good book to start basic Tagalog vocabulary. The only problem was, the words are described in verse, not defined. Luckily I knew I knew the definitions of the words to tell tell her exactly what they mean. Some of the words in the book were even English b/c there is no Tagalog word for it. I wish they would have picked different words in place of the English ones. My daughter does enjoy this book, and the characters are presented in an appropriate, unstereotypical manner. I like this book b/c it doesn't show Filipinos to be so different. They are just normal characters in a book teaching you their language.
