Darling!

I love pandas *points to nickname* but this book will make all avid fans for the wonderful animals. Beautifully illustrated, it's about a panda cub must move to another region of China because its home is being disturbed by tree-cutters. This is a real problem for pandas. Hunting has been prohibited, but what about hunting of their habitats? This picture book is not meant for facts, but gives one a general idea of the wildlife that inhabits the Himalayan Mountains. You will also see pictures of baby Yaks and monkeys, all coloured and drawn with such talent that you can't keep from staring at them. If I had to sum up this book it one word it would be cutecutecutecutecutecutecuteCUTE!!!!

Amazing New Children's Book

Pi-Shu the little panda adores exploring the slippery slopes of Misty Mountain, where he shares a home with his beloved Mother, Fei-Fei. However, one day, as young Pi-Shu is exploring the mountainside, he encounters humans. Humans who are cutting down the forest, and destroying the homes of the many animals around. Realizing that it is no longer safe, Pi-Shu and Fei-Fei set out on a journey to find a new home, where humans do not roam. I am a huge fan of John Butler, as well as pandas, so I was ecstatic to read PI-SHU THE LITTLE PANDA. Butler's wonderful prose, alongside his gorgeous illustrations make PI-SHU THE LITTLE PANDA an absolute must-have! Erika Sorocco Book Review Columnist for The Community Bugle Newspaper

An Absolute delight

This book is an absolute delight! My kids (3 + 4) read it again and again! It has introduced a wonderful and endangered animal to them in a very accesible way. The pictures are lovely and the story is touching, truthful and informative. Young kids really relate to the Mommy panda caring for her baby.. Of course it is a bit anthropomorphic, as all good children's books are. The author also has a fact page and references for more info! Your little one will LOVE this book!
