of all the books that i’ve read, i love Shell Silverstein’s The Missing Piece Meets the Big O the most. I saw myself in the Missing Piece, trying to be something else and looking for something or somebody to complete me. It made me realize 3 things: that I can use my limitations to my advantage; that it’s not so bad to try and do things that I once thought improbable; and that I can do these on my own.

**Ria, just in case you’ll extend your contest deadline. hihihi.

A children’s book I currently love right now: BOB THE BUILDER.

Although based in a tv series, it imparts good values on dealing conflict resolution, co-operation, socialization and various learning skills.

Bob will always shout, “Can we fix it?” and the rest will say, “Yes, we can.”

Miguel loves it.

my favorite story is from the manga turned to anime series entitled honey and clover. I really love it so much cause it taught me about love and life. The lead guy learned to be patient while he is secretly loving the girl he adores for 5 years. He had given her unconditional love though he knows the girl loves someone else. and in the end, he thought me about acceptance. though the girl only cherishes him as a friend and they did not end to each other, he was happy that he loved that girl. It woke me up from my daily rants about being in love. But above all, my favorite lesson I gained from the lead guy was when he had his self realization journey. He went to Tokyo up to the northernmost part of Japan through biking only. There he showed me the value of finding and following your hearts desire. Though he did not find something, whats important is whats in your heart. That’s really one of my favorite stories I known cause it inspired me not just academically but also mentally. I think I became more mature after it.

I’m a wide reader. That’s how I learned, basically. One of those I loved is entitled “Where Do I Place The Decimal Point” or something to that effect. It teaches how not to be afraid of math. It teaches how to solve math problems the logical and picturesque way so you can solve also mentally. The concept is a treasure we teach the principles to our kids.

Another book that develops the logical thinking is the collection of stories of Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle. That’s really my favorite in terms of learning how to deduce. It develops the brain, surely and my daughter has just finished the 2-inch thick hardbound collection.

I learned a lot from Meg Cabot’s How To Be Popular. The title of the book is already captivating and the book will teach you — what else? — how to be popular. But as you reach the end cover, you’ll realize that there are far more important things than just being popular — friends, family and happiness.

(I’m not sure what happened, but my comment seems to have been erased. D:)

One of my most favorite stories would have to be JK Rowling’s Harry Potter series. Given, it may not be up to par with several hundreds of other stories, but among all other things, Harry Potter taught me how to enjoy a good read as a kid. Harry was a big part of my childhood; I remember reading the first book as a nine year old kid, and growing up with Harry for the next ten years that the story continued. Through his tale, I learned that it was okay to dream; that our choices define us; that we will never be truly alone; that, when the times call for it, we’ve got to step up and be brave. I learned that everyone’s got strength in them; it’s only a matter of realizing our own capabilities, and believing in ourselves.

I really like this book: The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time.

Its a combination of crime story-finding the killer., his adventure to find her mother, and how he view the world.
