Recenzii
"…Lively line-and-color paintings are rendered in a naive style (a particular art aesthetic) but are realistic. Cultural details (dress, architecture, flora and fauna) are set against flat backgrounds." —School Library Journal
"I know I always find reading the tales from a culture really give a sense of culture and what it is like to live there. This book provides that and more." —Crafty Moms Share blog
"With 13 unique stories, this is a fantastic collection for children. Each story is funny and thoughtful offering insight into questions like Why do mosquitos buzz around our ears? Perfect for ages 6 to 10, this collection shares the best of the best Filipino fairytales." —Book Riot
