Hmmm.
Definitely an interesting book.
I'm really happy to see different cultures becoming a part of popular children's literature. It never really occurred to me while I was growing up but the majority, if not all, of the characters I read about as a child were either from America or England in most cases, and their first language was English.
So to see a children's book boldly representing some Filipino history, well, that's cool.
However, for my personal taste, the slaughtering of animals was overmentioned a bit. Also, the story itself was very very slow paced, and not many things happened.
