May Tobias-Papa • Isabel Roxas, ill.<br />
Araw sa Palengke<br />
Adarna House Inc., 2008 • ISBN 978-971-508-317-1<br />
“Listen well,” her mother tells her. “Hold on to<br />
me tightly, ha? So you won’t get lost. And don’t<br />
point at things that you want me to buy for<br />
you.” And so the story begins with a promise:<br />
“Yes, Nanay, I promise.” Early one morning, a<br />
little girl accompanies her mother to the market.<br />
They take readers with them. The market is<br />
hot and noisy, smelly and muddy, but it’s also<br />
fascinating and colorful, because it’s seen from<br />
a point of view that’s only about three feet<br />
tall. When they arrive home, and our little girl<br />
unpacks the bayong (bag) to find a surprise<br />
wrapped in newspaper at the bottom, it’s her joy<br />
we feel in the little dance that she does. Market<br />
Day! is a true marriage of text and visual image.<br />
The result is a lighthearted picture book that is<br />
nuanced, controlled, and thoroughly engaging.<br />
A really good read.<br />
Sasama ako kay Nanay! Pupunta kami sa palengke.<br />
Ano-ano kaya ang makikita namin doon? Sino-sino<br />
kaya ang makikilala ko? Tara, sama ka. Ngayon<br />
ay araw ng palengke!For 3-6 årige.<br />
