Target: Odon (Ang Higanting Maliliit -- To Defeat a Tyrant)

Bilingual Text Tagalog - EnglishThis book is based on a Visayan tale from an anthology of Leyteno literature by H. Otley Beyer. Like many old stories, this one features a conflict between the strong and the weak. Odon is a savage and cruel giant. His evil ways provoke unity among the small animals that suffered under him. Throug a daring but carefully thought out plan carried out under the leadership of a tiny bird, Pikoy, the weak ones take revenge on the savage giant. This story proves the wisdom of the old saying: "A mote in your eye can blind you." Children of today can learn from Odon's fate the lesson that victory does not always go to the mighty. On the contrary, even the weak can win against the strong if they are united, plan their actions well, and use their wits and cunning. Recommended for children 3 to 10 years old
