Tracks of a Panda

DateMonday, November 26, 2007 at 01:19PM

pandatracks.jpgPanda bears are an enchanting species, so majestic and rare, yet cuddly and sweet. Tracks of a Panda is a beautiful children's book about a mama panda and her newborn baby panda, and their struggle to survive.

This gorgeous book illustrates the care and nurturing of the baby panda as mama struggles to find bamboo for food and a home that is safe from predators, both animal and human. The illustrations by Yu Rong use a Chinese painting technique which wonderfully complements the story by Nick Dowson.

Alongside the story of the pandas are informative facts about panda bears and their life, habits, skills, and challenges. A lovely story, a reflection of the universal bond between mother and baby, and the fragile struggle for survival.
