The Panda is an illustrated children’s book. It contains the following sections: home of the giant panda, the panda’s looks, where it lives, the panda’s day, gathering its food, how the panda feeds, a very long meal, a baby panda is born, alone in the bamboo jungle, some interesting facts about pandas, species, description, family life, and conservation. There is a slight map at the beginning of the book. It was missing a table of contents, an index, and a glossary.
