Peruse Ang Prinsipeng Unggoy / The Monkey Prince Published By Severino Reyes Format Physical Edition

is one of the individual illustrated books that Anvil Publishing, Inc, released to make the reading of Reyes' masterpiece more appealing to children,

All these books have a standard prologue entitled "For Teachers and Parents" and this is what it says about these stories: "The themes of the stories are relevant to their children needs and from these can be drawn lessons, delight and pleasure, and other ways of appreciation of Philippine literature.
"

Let me see how this book fares in my humble opinion:

Theme: To overcome ugliness, try praying.


Lessons:
Be careful what you wish for
Never underestimate the power of words to win the heart of the person you love.


Delight and Pleasure:
Animals can be used your friends to help you in the time of need.
The bird becomes a letter courier, The whale is used by the monkey to transport himself across the sea, Not really surprising

because the main protagonist is a monkey man, This seems to be the most animalcentered book in the series,

Other Ways of Appreciation of Philippine Literature:
Filipinos are prayerful and generally believe in miracles.


Overall: I liked how religiosity of the Filipinos was incorporated in the story.
