A Weekend for Future Bookworms

After going to church last Sunday, we went to SMX in Pasay City to attend the 30th Manila International Book Fair. I decided that letting them go to fairs like this and that of Doulos is one way of supporting their love for books.
Filipinos love to read and it shows here.
Booth selling children's books
A schoolbus for a booth, nice idea!
Inside, there are computers where kids can browse and play.
Shelves and shelves of books abound
Boy: I wonder why there aren't no games here?!
Kids, including Gabby and Sunday enjoyed this laser harp!
Sunday being "electrocuted" at the Diwa Publishing booth
I love listening to the participants
in this storytelling contest. They were all good!
Gabby and Sunday found a book they really like
and it costs P3000! Too pricey!
Books, books, books!

I want to develop my kids' love for reading. I believe in its power.
As what Dr. Seuss said,
“The more you read, the more things you will know.
The more that you learn, the more places you'll go.”

So be it. :)
