Pin Ping is a panda who could not find any bamboo. He asks his friends to help him. On their journey he is unable to find any. Finally he finds some babe with the help of his friends. This is a cute book on team work. I would use this book for ages 5-10. ( )

Age Appropriateness: Primary
Genre: Fantasy
Media: Pencil
Characterization: Ping-Ping, the main character, is not well known in the story and we know this because there are not many details told about Ping-Ping, so she is a flat character. During the story, she also maintains the same attitude of curiosity and does not change in the story, so she is a static character too. Ping-ping and the other characters in the story do take on human characteristics, so this is an example of fantasy, but the beginning of the book has a section of facts about the animals and their food that are represented in the story, which is a wonderful feature.
Review: Ping-Ping is a little panda who has eaten all of her food and goes in search for more finding other animals eating their own foods before finding some more of her food. All of the characters in this story are animals taking on human characteristics, so this book is a good example of fantasy. ( )
