Very cute!
A book of alternatives, the choices we make and some consequences.
Great opportunity to talk about safety with some of the options.
I like that it is a turnaround tale.

»»» A compra:
Comprado em 2.ª mão na world of books online. Como fã desta autora vou tentando apanhar os livros que posso.

»»» A aventura:
Um pequeno panda recusa-se a fazer o que a mãe lhe manda, desde tomar banho a lavar os dentes, dizendo sempre que preferia enfrentar um ou outro animal selvagem… até ao dia em que se cruza com esses animais selvagens. Desde aí passa a cumprir com tudo o que mãe lhe diz que tem que fazer.

»»» Sentimento final:
Muito bom.
Um livro educacional e em que volta o bom sentido de humor subtil de Scobie.
As ilustrações são boas, sem ser algo excecional, havendo outros livros em que o talento da autora sobressai mais, mas a fofura está presente neste e é o suficiente.
Mais um bom livro da autora.

»»» Nota final (capa):
--- [Capa] – Capa interessante, sem grande destaque.
--- [Ilustrações] – Boas e fofas, apesar de não serem as minhas favoritas da autora.
