Gail Gibbons Does It Again!

I learned more about Giant Pandas from this book than I have ever learned before. It is fascinating how the Giant Pandas have evolved and how they live in the bamboo forests of China. Who can resist such beautiful animals? I hope they survive and can be seen 1,000 years from now.

Finalist, Animal Behavior Society Children's Book Award 2003

Superb illustrations, attention to detail, and one of the most charismatic and appealing mammals around combine to make Giant Pandas a sure hit, with its fascinating account of the natural history and behavior of the giant panda. Gail Gibbons' beautiful illustrations transport the reader to the rugged mountains of northern China that giant pandas call home. One third grader wrote: "I would read this book over and over and it would NEVER get boring. This book is a wonderful way to learn." The conservation message that is woven throughout the book provides a realistic though hopeful conclusion to a book that will enthrall children and parents.
