About Talas Books UK

Written by the company

Talas Books is your source of Philippine children's books in the UK, featuring a special selection of books for young readers from reputable Philippine publishers. Most of the books in stock feature English translations.

Talas means 'sharp' in Tagalog. Like its English word equivalent, Talas means bright, or of intellect/wit, when used to describe a person. Books, of course, can be a wonderful way for our little ones to learn about different languages and cultures.

Talas Books hopes to provide a much-needed service for the Filipino diaspora in the UK, especially for parents who are looking for ways to share their Filipino heritage with their children.

I have ordered Filipino books for my…

I have ordered Filipino books for my children a couple of times now from Talas books and so far I have only good experience. They have accommodated my orders, even though I am based out of UK. Katrina was responsive and set the expectations about sending the books abroad.

Talas Books UK is a gem of a bookstore and provides a much needed source of Filipino children's books in Europe! The curation of books is excellent and the customer service is superb. They responded to every query quickly and kindly. Also, the payment felt very secure, using a two-factor authentication. They even accommodated my request to deliver to Sweden at very reasonable rates. I have and will continue to highly recommend this online bookstore to all my friends looking for high quality literature for their children!

Great selection, easy to communicate, quick delivery

We love their book selection :) Great for little ones and older ones who like to refresh and expand their Filipino vocabulary!

We’re also very pleased with their communication and delivery - smooth and quick! All our questions were answered & their Instagram account is so helpful when choosing.

We especially enjoy reading ‘Ay Naku!’ - my baby laughs almost instantly when he sees the book :)

We can’t wait to get another set from Talas Books!

Love the selection of books

Love the selection of books. So pleased that there are now a few different books we can read at bedtime. Finally - somewhere to get Tagalog books with quick shipping within the UK.

I’m so glad I found this store!

My 3-year old loves her books from Talas, especially the “Day of Opposites” (Araw ng Kabaligtaran). She mimics what the character is doing and she loves to read it every single night. Our nightly Tagalog reading gives our bonding time new meaning. The books also arrived fast and very well wrapped. I’m glad I found this store as it makes it easier for me to teach my daughter my native language and share my heritage. Thank you Talas!
