Today Is International Book-Giving Day – A Giveaway

Today is Valentine’s Day AND International Book-Giving Day. We’re celebrating by giving away two new children’s books being launched by Tahanan Books. This is not one of the giveaways I mentioned previously, and it certainly makes February more fabulous!




I’m a big fan of the quality and care that this local publishing house puts into their volumes. If you want to read a previous raving that I wrote, click here.

For today, The Learning Basket and Tahanan Books are giving away one copy each of Bugtong Bugtong 2: More Filipino Riddles by Daniel Palma Tayona and Mga Kuwento ni Lola Basyang (Volume 2) by Severino Reyes. As usual, readers can expect to enjoy beautiful illustrations in each book. 


Bugtong Bugtong 2: More Filipino Riddles

Make the Filipino language fun for your child! Written for the 4 to 8 year old set, this book has 57 riddles that will keep the whole family guessing. 

Mga Kuwento ni Lola Basyang (Volume 2)

The much-anticipated companion volume to the first collection of Mga Kuwento ni Lola Basyang (click here for The Nanay Notebook’s review of it), the twelve stories in this new collection have been edited for modern readers. Get ready to encounter magical creatures, kings, and dragons in the world of one of the most popular Filipino writers of all time, Severino Reyes. 



This giveaway is open only to residents of the Philippines. If you are from Metro Manila, you may claim your prize at the private launch of the books on February 19, 5:00 to 7:00pm at Figaro Cafe, 3F Greenbelt 3. We will see you there! Otherwise, we will ship the book to you. The winners will be announced on Monday, February 18.

So, are you ready for the giveaway? Just click here to follow the Rafflecopter! 


Make magic!

Nice books! I loved reading and playing bugtungan when I was in elementary. :)  I also happen to know Christine Belen. Learned from her about the book launch, too. Though, most likely we can't come. :(
