Panda Kindergarten - by Joanne Ryder (Hardcover)

From the Back Cover

Follow a day in the life of the panda cubs at China Conservation and Research Center for the Giant Panda at the Wolong Nature Preserve, the largest research facility for giant pandas in China. Cubs are raised together in a protected setting--dubbed panda kindergarten--where they grow strong and learn skills that will help prepare them to be released into the wild when they are older. With spare text by veteran nonfiction writer Joanne Ryder and irresistible full-color photographs by Katherine Feng, whose work has appeared in National Geographic, Panda Kindergarten will delight young readers as they learn more about these amazing creatures.

Review Quotes

"Feng's clear and detailed photographs are visual treats, giving readers a glimpse into the feeding and care of the pandas. There's a high cuteness factor as the cubs play, sleep, and interact with caregivers." --School Library Journal - School Library Journal
"Simple yet informative, the text compares [the pandas'] group activities to those of children as they play, explore their world, eat, and nap. . . . A fine choice for preschool and primary science units." --ALA Booklist - ALA Booklist
