My Filipino ABC was a fun share book with my granddaughter! The book is in English/Filipino with very impressive illustrations. We laughed together at our attempts to conquer the unknown words!# MyFilipinoABC#NetGalley

As a Filipina who moved to the US from the Philippines when I was 5 years old, this book has me remembering certain words. Since my parents speak Tagalog and I only understand it and was never taught to speak it, I don't know many spellings and this book not only provides the spelling with the pronunciation but it also has a colorful illustration of each word. Some words are in English which is okay but I would have preferred the whole book to be in Tagalog. Looking forward to showing the book to my 6 year old daughter so she can have more exposure to the Filipino culture.

Thank you Netgalley and BooksGoSocial for the opportunity to read this book.

I enjoyed the illustrations, but I expected this to be more of a book that you can read during story time than a book with a letter for each page, and a few words that start with that letter (and illustrations to go with them) around it. If you’re looking for a visual dictionary to introduce your child to Tagalog, I’d definitely recommend this book. If you’re looking for a book to read during story time, this probably isn’t quite right.

I love when things are drawn to look like their first letter, like the letter C that is decorated to look like a cookie, or the letter Z that looks like a zebra. The alphabet at the beginning of this book is ridiculously cute, and I learned Filipino words as I read through it, so it is very informative. It's always interesting to see which words overlap in different languages. For example: jacket, jam, jelly, and jeep are all the same in Filipino and English.

I'm super excited for this book! Growing up I had never seen any kid of kids book that went over the Filipino language, Tagalog, and I was super excited to share this with my children. Growing up I was never interested in anything about my own culture and I regret that, so anything to help bridge the gap for my old children is a big win. This book was a simple word book with great illustrations and it included the English word and the word in Tagalog. My only suggestion is a better format for digital books (which is how I received this book) and it was somewhat distorted and jumbled up. But aside from figuring out what words went to what, I really enjoyed this and my kids loved seeing the similarities and differences between English and Tagalog. I would definitely recommend this book! I think this is a great resource!

I voluntarily reviewed this after receiving a free copy.

This is a great book for learning basic words in Tagalog. For each letter, the capital and small version are given. The word is accompanied by a fun and colorful drawing. Both the English and Filipino word for the drawing is given.

I found this book to be bright and colorful with Tagalog words that are useful and easy to remember. Since my grandchildren and part Filipino, I am anxious to learn words in Tagalog as they are doing so.


I received an ARC from Books Go Social through NetGalley. This in no way affects my opinion or rating of this book. I am voluntarily submitting this review and am under no obligation to do so.

The illustrations are wonderfully done and how the words they have in the book are of common objects that might make it easier to learn. I would buy this book to use in my toddler classroom as a way of introducing other languages.
