Learn to say 'Please' with Mr Panda in this charmingly funny story. In a sturdy board book, perfect for even the youngest readers.

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?

Each of them is refused and clever young children will soon guess the reason why * The School Librarian * Will spark discussion and deserves multiple readings. I love Mr Panda's expressions and have felt that way myself before when people aren't polite. Your best buy BEFORE Christmas especially for little ones yelling I WANT! * South Wales Evening Post (Swansea) * For the grandchildren Please Mr Panda by Steve Antony has been the number one * Books For Keeps * With bold illustrations and spare prose that keep the mood light and playful, Antony offers a delightful primer on manners your children will ask for again and again * Barnes & Noble *
