Bookshelf #8:
Carlos Miguel
1 year & 7 months old
Manila, Philippines

Being a bibliophile myself, I would like my little boy to grow up around books. I would like to instill in him the passion for reading. Books develop and broaden horizons and for little ones, I believe that starting them young will help them as they grow older. I have taken snapshots of little Miguel’s own book collection. He shares a couple of shelves from me so his books will have their own places in the house. Being 1 year and 7 months old, his books range from coloring books to the educational/learning starter books such as the ABCs. The shelf above contains his coloring books, learning the alphabet and numbers books, beginner’s shapes books, board books of trucks, dogs and kittens, illustration books and flashcards with Barney’s photo, too. It also contains the kiddie books we bought from our MV Doulos trip.

This middle shelf contains his other mini board books and some glitter books. He also has some books featuring Winnie D Pooh and friends.

The bottom shelf contains his I Wonder Why books, a gift from his aunt. Also, it houses some baby-kiddie books meant for my reading.

As a mom, I am proud to say that he can now fully recite the ABC, count 1-15, recognize shapes!
