“Just the other day, Grandfather Panda was talking to his grandson.<\/p>\n

“‘I am going to tell you a story of a little panda and the tiger that flew,’ he said.<\/p>\n

“‘But that’s silly. Tiger’s can’t fly,’ interrupted the grandchild.<\/p>\n

“‘How do you know if you haven’t heard the story yet?’ asked Grandfather.”<\/p>\n

Here’s a sweet and gentle story about a little panda escaping imminent danger and learning to listen to his mother. The muted colors and round characters remind me of Jon Muth’s Zen Shorts.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n

I definitely will be using this book in a storytime or two. It’s short for young listeners, but has cozy time with Mama combined with elements of danger and a fun twist. And you can find out how a tiger can fly!<\/p>\n
