Featuring two fetching pandas--a mother and a child--this fetching padded board book with softly-colored scenes of the animals' natural habitat, filled with abundant greens, contains some surprises. Unlike many other books for youngsters in which certain personality traits or experiences are what the parent longs for their child, this one focuses more on resilience, sharing joy, and the strength to deal with life's challenges. This one is just different enough from the usual ones to seem fresh and new, something that will make parent and child reach for it frequently. The thick padding is a bonus, guaranteeing a long life of usage.
