Panda Pants (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780553535761)

With spot-on humor, a spare text, and adorable panda bear characters, this is a fun and familiar exchange between a parent and child that fans of I DON'T WANT TO BE A FROG will easily relate to

I want pants, says a little panda to his father.
You are a panda, answers the father. Pandas do NOT wear pants.

And so begins a hilarious battle of wills when a young panda tries to convince his father why pants make perfect sense. After all, pants are soft. Pants keep you warm. Some pants even have . . . POCKETS But with a menacing snow leopard lurking in the background, will the longed-for pants end up having an even greater role to play?

Jacqueline Davies's humorous story, with deliciously droll illustrations from Sydney Hanson, captures the push and pull between a parent and child as they face off over the age-old dilemma of what to wear . . . with the most heartwarming of results.
