Product Information

There is another way at looking at this. It makes a great opportunity for discussion with children. I think this book goes deeper than manners!

It isn't possible that I should walk by a picture book about pandas, penguins, or cats without giving it a close look. This one includes a lemur, which is pure bonus points. I don't care much for picture books that have a MORAL, but this doesn't read like that at all. Fun art, cute doughnuts, and a snippy panda. It's good.

But it seems as though Mr Panda is not just for the kids. 'Please Mr Panda' was voted 'book of the year' by a high school in the States. urn:lcp:pleasemrpanda0000anto:epub:d7b13ecd-7261-46ec-addd-23f05628adfd Foldoutcount 0 Identifier pleasemrpanda0000anto Identifier-ark ark:/13960/t3mx1fx68 Invoice 1652 Isbn 9781444916645 Mr Panda has a tray of doughnuts. Patiently and politely, Mr Panda asks his friends if they would like one. Each animal says yes, but without the all-important 'please'! Is anyone worthy of Mr Panda's doughnuts? Look, saying "please" and "thank you" are polite, and if the animals had encountered Mr. Panda and his box of doughnuts and said, "Give me one right now!", he might've been justified in refusing. But the fact that he offered, and then reneged on the offer when the response didn't meet his own unknowable threshold for politeness, just makes him look rude. (If this were a book for adults, I would suspect that might be the point. You know, an ironic statement about the people who demand etiquette but don't show much themselves. Sadly, I think this book is just a poorly conceived, preachy children's book.)

Mr Panda has a tray of doughnuts. Patiently and politely, Mr Panda asks his friends if they would like one. Each animal says yes, but without the all-important ‘please’! Is anyone worthy of Mr Panda’s doughnuts? Aha! The peril of NOT using your manners very aptly illustrated (though is it me or does Mr. Panda look rather grumpy? Maybe it is just all the animals forgetting to say please that bums him out?) and how, at least between this book's covers, those rude animals will get nothing except sorrow and bewilderment. Yeah, Please, Mr. Panda is pretty terrible. The premise is that a panda has a bunch of donuts. He goes around offering them to other animals, but he doesn't actually give them away (despite not liking donuts) until somebody says please. PLEASE, MR PANDA by @mrsteveantony is an instant favorite. Out now from @scholastic. #tlchat #kidlit https://t.co/1mig5dowDV— Matthew C. Winner (@MatthewWinner) February 2, 2015

Please, Mr. Panda by Steve Antony | Goodreads

Practice polite behavior with Novel Effect’s Please Mr. Panda activities. They engage students in letter and sound recognition, cause and effect, and other literacy skills. I love pandas and I love food, so I was really excited to see a panda holding food on the cover. However, when I read through the story, my first impression was that it was just a jerk teasing other animals with doughnuts by offering them the doughnuts then denying them. When I read through it again, only then did I realize it was about teaching kids manners.
