Counting book with a difference

MANILA, Philippines – Tahanan Books for Young Readers has a delightful new counting book in Filipino. Young bug lovers will find learning numbers irresistibly fun with Jomike Tejido’s book Tagu-taguan: A Counting Book in Filipino.

Tagu-Taguan’s charming Filipino verses make counting from 10 to 1 and back again a delightful discovery game for the very young. The book opens with 10 grasshoppers hiding among the leaves till the countdown tapers down to one solitary cricket’s lullaby.

Tejido’s visual bugfest leaps out from page after page in a parade showcasing spiders, bees, worms, and caterpillars, to name a few. Children will enjoy scouring each spread for creepy crawlies and winged creatures half-hidden in the foliage.

The book seamlessly combines math and Filipino language skills perfect for bilingual children ages one and up.

Now available at all major bookstores for P150. For more information, call Fran or Josie at 813-7165 or e-mail fran@tahananbooks.com.
