I am one of 5 siblings who adored this book as a child. Twenty years later, as adults, we are all fighting over who gets to keep it! I will have to purchase more! So far, I am the only one with a child. My 3 year old son LOVES this book! The black and white drawings are lovely and are not cartoonish versions of animals, they look more realistic. There are many opportunities to learn about rhyming, animals and consequences. You could also educate your child about fragile Panda's and how important it is to help them. I wish that they would reprint this book. My copy will probably fall apart by the time my son is done "loving" it! Buy this book if you can find it!
