Editorial Reviews

Praise for Please, Mr. Panda " Smart design decisions by Antony... distinguish his visual storytelling. The warm gray backdrop and parade of black and white animals (a skunk, an ostrich, an orca) make the candy-colored doughnuts look all the more tantalizing." -Publishers Weekly

" Households with toddlers may find a new family catchphrase as Mr. Panda demonstrates one approach to eliciting those elusive 'magic words.' Simple yet funny enough for multiple readings." -Kirkus Reviews

" A fun storytime selection and a solid option for parents or teachers looking for a creative way to emphasize the importance of saying, 'Please' and 'Thank you.'" -School Library Journal

From the Publisher

PreS-K—This bilingual picture book has a pattern that young children will enjoy. From page to page, the penguin displays a great deal of patience as he waits for Mr. Panda to finish baking his treat, or just notice him for that matter. The other animals, who include a llama, an anteater, bunnies, and a fluffy-headed bird, just do not want to wait around and see what Mr. Panda is preparing. The creatures' facial expressions are darling and sure to elicit giggles. The penguin's persistence pays off with a delicious homemade treat. The illustrations greatly enhance the story, and the English and Spanish texts are easily distinguishable by color. This sweet tale would be a great option to compare and contrast with different versions of "The Little Red Hen." Nonfiction titles about the various animals depicted also have extension lesson potential. VERDICT A tasty must-have for any picture book collection.—Katie Darrin, Boulder Valley School District, Boulder, CO
