Pandas by James McClaine (An Usborne Book)
Pandas are interesting and beautiful animals. Young children will learn a lot of interesting facts about Panda Bears when they read the book Pandas by James Maclaine. As I read it with my preschool children, I was impressed at how well the book kept their attention. It is an easy read with great illustrations. Pandas is illustrated by Jenny Cooper and Richard Watson. The authors of the book consulted with Professor David MacDonald, CBE at the Wildlife Conservation Research Unit, Zoology Department, University of Oxford. The publication date is 2016.

I think this was our favorite part. We leaned about Panda babies. Did
you know that Panda babies have almost no fur at all when they are born? Panda babies are very tiny compared to the Mama Panda.

We learned that humans who work with Panda Bears wear Panda suits so
that they don’t confuse the bears. This is very important when humans
must prepare a Panda to be released into the wild for the first time.

In the back of the book, there is a glossary. Use this to teach new words to your young readers.

Teach children to use an index. If they want to review something
they’ve learned such as what Pandas eat, they’ll know what page to find
the information.
