Publisher Description
Chaos and silliness ensue when a family of adorable, fidgety pandas try to take a group photo in this hilarious read-aloud sure to become a new favorite.
Pandas scrub until they're clean
comb and curl and primp and preen.
Ties and hairbows all precise.
Hurry! While we still look nice!
All the pandas are together for a reunion, so naturally it's time to take a family photo. But with each disastrous attempt, the littlest pandas feel more and more wiggly and giggly. Will they get the perfect picture, or will it be utter pandamonium?!
Featuring a delightful collection of giant pandas and red pandas illustrated by debut illustrator Bonnie Wong, Annie Bailey's hilarious read-aloud is a panda-dorable addition to the libraries of even the most fidgety young readers. Educational backmatter includes fun facts about both species.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In Bailey and Wong's boisterous picture book, it's absolute "pandamonium" when a gathering of giant and red pandas attempt to snap a group pic at an annual reunion. Bouncy rhymes establish a high-energy tone: "Ties and hair bows all precise.// Hurry! While we still look nice!" Once the crew get into position, further chaos ensues as "Pandas start to fiddle, giggle,/ can't sit still, they've got to wiggle!" Multiple pose attempts yield less than ideal shots involving poking, nose-picking, and "Panda bum?!" After the camera is set aside, the "roly-poly" ensemble let loose, culminating in a "panda pile"—and, at last, an impromptu but successful selfie. Candy-colored digital cartoons convey the pandas' antics with expressive humor across this congenial and realistic snapshot of a kid-filled family gathering. Panda trivia concludes. Ages 2–5.
