[Sarah · Rating 3 out of 5]

I saw this book on top of a stack of juvenile non-fictions at work and had to read it. I freaking love pandas. It was a cute, short read, and the pictures are nice (and isn't the main pull of these the pictures, honestly?), although reading about how they struggle to eat sometimes when the bamboo dies out for a year is depressing.
