Mr Panda, you see, is no better than the animals he is testing. And he's a bit of a grumpy sod too, stomping off once he finally unloads the unwanted treats on someone he finally views as being worthy.
This book is told entirely through speech, with no narrative. There's also only half-hearted punctuation – full stops are in, but speech marks are omitted. The pictures are really cute, but I was disappointed by the story and delivery, especially given how much I adored some of the author's earlier works, including [[The Queen's Hat by Steve Antony|The Queen's Hat]] and [[Green Lizards vs Red Rectangles by Steve Antony|Green Lizards vs Red Rectangles]].
I'd like to thank the publishers for sending us a copy to review. If you're after a manners book for little ones, [[Please: A First Book of Manners by Patricia Hegarty and Fhiona Galloway]] comes recommended by our reviewer.
