All about the Philippines is a book about the facts that makes this Philippines unique. The three cousins Mary (who lives in Luzon), Jaime (who is from the Visayas) and Ari (who is a native in Mindanao) introduce readers to their homes, languages, traditions and even their favorite places to visit.
The books covers topics such as

The book also includes famous food Filipino prepares for fiesta. It even includes simple recipes for polvoron, halo-halo and pancit.
It an easy book to read with good illustrations that even a 5-year old can enjoy. We used this book in learning fun facts, some Filipino games like sipa, piko, patintero, and sungka, and words in different dialects. It’s learning about the Philippines thru stories, songs, crafts and games.
