Panda Kindergarten by Joanne Ryder

Panda Kindergarten by Joanne Ryder, photos by Dr, Katherine Feng, Harper Collins, 2009, ISBN 978-0-06-057850-3
The title really doesn't do justice to this wonderful account of the Giant Panda. Imaginative photographs take us from the birth of the pandas through their daily routine at the "kindergarten", where all 16 of the Giant Panda cubs is loved and cared for. The author ends the book with "Fast Facts about Giant Pandas" (did you know that a newborn giant panda is the size of a stick of butter and weighs about 4 ounces?). This book would work well as as introduction to gathering information about pandas, and could be followed by using a website to gather information. Here's World Wildlife Fund's page about pandas. Here's some information from the National Zoo. And finally some sites from Awesome Library.org.
Might use this at Chinese New Year.
