Very easy reader. Reminds me of being 6

A little panda is happy with how he looks until he meets up with a lion, an elephant, a zebra, and others individually, each laughing at him because he looks different from them. He makes himself look like each of them until - when he meets another panda - he doesn't look like himself at all. This is a sweet story, simply told, that shows how good it is to be oneself. Nicely illustrated.

I wish the art was a little better. The red, white and black made it pop but I think we would of enjoyed pages full of color to bring more life to the story.
