Please Mr Panda

Product Information

The lemur already knows what to say. He doesn’t have to be prompted. This is when I wish I had a child here to see what they thought of this book. But I don’t. I love that Mr. Panda is giving away the doughnuts because he does not like doughnuts. That was fun. You remember that pandas only eat bamboo. But is it fair for Mr. Panda to withdraw the doughnuts when “please” and “thank you” are not said? Learn to say ‘Please’ with Mr Panda in this charmingly funny story. In a sturdy board book, perfect for even the youngest readers. 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.) After hearing the story a few times, children will get to know it well. Encourage them tell it to you in their own words, with some words or phrases from the story, using the pictures to help them. Patiently and politely, Mr. Panda asks the animals he comes across if they would like a doughnut. A penguin, a skunk, and a whale all say yes, but they do not remember to ‘please’ and ‘thank you.” Is anyone worthy of Mr. Panda’s doughnuts?

Read the story aloud to your child, pausing if children would like to talk about the pictures. Join in 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.

Testo semplice adatto ai bambini che si stanno approcciando con la lingua inglese. Mr Panda and his friends are getting ready for bed. But some won't brush their teeth, others won't have a bath, and one won't even wear pyjamas! It's down to Mr Panda to show them how to do bedtime properly. The pictures are kind of disturbing. Mr. Panda has no affect. He looks bored the whole time he's playing these mind games. I suspect he might be a sociopath. until he is able to find one creature, a polite and enthusiastic lemur, whose good breeding is evident in the way he says "please." 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.

Maybe I just don't get it. I think this is supposed to be a message book, teaching kids to say please when they want something. But I find Mr. Panda more rude than all the animals who forget to say the secret word. Total win. We must have reenacted this book for a solid half hour. Of course, I was never Panda, always the hapless animal who was crying because she couldn't have any doughnuts. I never imagined in a million years that Mr. Panda would star in his very own series of books! I wrote Please, Mr. Pandaa year after being made redundant from a call centre. In fact, if I hadn’t been made redundant the Please, Mr. Pandaprobably wouldn’t exist. The book wasn’t even called Please, Mr. Pandato begin with. It was called Would You Like a Doughnut? For the first time, over twenty of the most commonly consumed vegetables in India have been presented in a colourful and appealing book for babies and toddlers.
