Author: Vanessa Hull
Age: 6-8
With the return of Giant Pandas to the Smithsonian’s National Zoo in Washington, I thought it would be interesting to learn more about these mysterious mammals.
- This is a very informative book. There are lots of bite-sized facts about the life cycle and behavior of the Giant Panda. Also included in this volume are chapters on the threats and conservation of Giant Pandas. I love the colorful illustrations which are lifelike.
- The copy of Giant Panda that I read and listened to was a Chapter Book That Talks, so I could get a good look at the wonderful picture while I listened to the information. Best part, you can actually hear the noises that Giant Pandas make and what they mean.
If you have a budding zoologist, you might want to check out this book, or any of the other books in the Young Zoologist Series. FDL has 5 books from the series:
