Chengdu Can Do

(2) PS Little panda Chengdu (Chengdu Could Not, Would Not Fall Asleep) wakes up determined to find breakfast "all by himself." Gentle visual humor provides the big picture as Chengdu struggles (and fails) to reach bamboo leaves at the top of another tree. Clean pencil and watercolor illustrations allow viewers to focus on the action, and Chengdu's solemn expression keeps the story from getting too cutesy.
