Are there any local Pinoy storybooks that teach kids to love their native language? How about books that teach them to appreciate Philippine history? Thanks!

Adarna Publishing house has a lot of pinoy storybooks that you might want to checkout. As for the book that can teach or introduce kids to Filipino language--Tagalog, you can check this book: Filipino Friends by Liana Romulo and Corazon Dandan-Albano. It is about a Fil-Am kid visiting the Philippines for the first time. In this book, he will be introduced to the culture and traditions of the Filipinos as well as the Filipino language. http://www.amazon.com/dp/0804838224/?tag=tagalog-lang-20
