The Great Panda Tale is a beautifully designed reader all about a very special delivery at the zoo. Children will love to find out about the baby pandas - from taking care of the panda mother to the arrival and lives of the tiny cubs.

Illustrations and rhyming text present ten different endangered animals in this easy-reader version of the 2003 tale. Includes note to parents and teachers, as well as activities.

Mr. Panda has a plate of doughnuts to share, but most of the other animals forget to say "Please."

Accompanying his family on a visit to the beach, Chu the little panda looks forward to playing in the sand and wading in the water while wondering how his colossal sneezes will impact the day.

"Chu is a little panda with a big sneeze. When Chu sneezes, bad things happen. Will Chu sneeze today?"--Jacket.

Mr. Panda is making something, and all of his animal friends are interested--but only Penguin is willing to wait to see what it is.

Magically transported to southwest China to find the final object needed to break the spell on the wizard Merlin's beloved penguin, Jack and Annie take a side trip to the world's largest giant panda reserve.

"'Generous Mr. Panda is giving away presents to all his animal friends, including a mouse, an octopus, an elephant, and a lemur, but they aren't being very grateful about the gifts they receive. It may be because the presents aren't quite right. Mouse receives a sweater that's too big, and Octopus gets six colorful socks even though he has eight legs. Fortunately, thoughtful little Lemur knows that even if the present isn't perfect, it's the thought...

Panda goes to Fox's house for a playdate.

It is bedtime and Mr. Panda carefully reminds his friends of the things that they need to do like brushing their teeth, and taking a bath before settling down for the night--but sometimes Mr. Panda can be absentminded, and Lemur has to remind him which bed is his.
