Fans of Bill Martin Jr. and Eric Carle's Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? and Polar Bear, Polar Bear, What Do You Hear? will be delighted to see another title in this lilting call and response series. Much like their earlier picture books, Panda Bear features a string of fine feathered (and furry and scaly) friends watching over each other. In this book, however, all the animals are endangered, from a swinging spider monkey to a strutting macaroni penguin (kids will get a kick out of that name!) to a splashing sea lion. The book concludes on a hopeful note, with a dreaming child seeing the ten featured animals "all wild and free, that's what I see!" Martin includes a note on endangered species that may spark concern and interest in older readers - our hope for these disappearing creatures. (Ages 3 to 8)
