(3) PS Panda keeps getting too close to new friends. A patient narrator explains that “I don’t think Puppy wants to be squeezed” and “friends will let you know if it’s okay to be touched.” By book’s end Panda and Puppy are happily dancing at a comfortable distance from each other: “Way to go, Panda!” The simple, friendly text effectively delivers the message; complementary mixed-media illustrations, showing the enthusiastic panda against single-color backgrounds, emphasize the humor in Panda’s well-intentioned actions.
