About This Book
Reach for this book when your child has entered a 'demanding' phase or is struggling with the social nuances of polite requests. It is a perfect tool for parents who find themselves constantly reminding a little one to use their manners, providing a humorous mirror for that behavior without feeling like a lecture. Mr. Panda has a tray of delicious doughnuts to share, but as he encounters various animals, he repeatedly rescinds his offer when they fail to say the magic word. Through a series of funny interactions, the book explores the themes of gratitude and social etiquette. It is ideal for preschoolers and early elementary children who are learning that the way we speak to others affects how they respond to us. The minimalist art and deadpan humor make it a fun, lighthearted way to reinforce character education at home.

Ideal Reader
A 3 to 5-year-old who is currently struggling with 'bossy' language or a child who enjoys repetitive, predictable stories with a punchline. It is also great for children who respond well to visual humor and 'grumpy' but kind characters.
