Steve Antony's Mr Panda is back in another visual treat with a strong theme of patience.
A hilarious Mr Panda picture book about learning to be patient. Something young children can often struggle with!
Mr Panda is making a delicious surprise. What could it be? The animals must wait and see. One by one Mr Panda's friends get bored and give up. All except one little penguin... Will his patience be rewarded?
"This deliciously droll Panda and his gigantic doughnut will have you shouting for seconds." WRD
Look out for more books starring the grumpy (but loveable!) Mr Panda. Over half a million copies sold to date!
