Reviews for Filipino Childrens Favorite Stories: Fables Myths and Fairy Tales

...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
