“Little Panda winking, blinking, spies a snowy day. Little Panda stumbling, tumbling, bumbles out to play …” In two charming board books following the same format, the baby animal that is the subject engages in a series of well- rhymed activities leading to a predicament. In each case, the trouble is solved when Mama steps in. The terrific word choice features robust rhymes and action verbs. The illustrations depict two slightly precious protagonists against appealing stylized backgrounds showing elements of nature in each animal’s world. (Ages 6 months–2 years)

Little Panda goes on an adventure in the jungle, but mama is always close by her cub. Short rhyming lines in this illustrated board book tell a sweet story of youthful adventure and motherly love.
