Panda Whispers

(4) K-3 In this sentimental story, a father reads a bedtime story about animal babies and their parents to his little girl. The double-page spreads include four lines of verse plus an additional line spoken from animal parent to little one ("Panda whispers, 'Dream of climbing'"; "Lemur whispers, 'Hold on tight'"). The text's gentle rhythm is an apt match for the soft, realistic illustrations.
