Books We Shared<\/h2>\n

\"Panda\u00a0\"Five<\/a>\u00a0\"Please<\/a>\u00a0\"Chengdu<\/a><\/strong>
\nIn infant storytime, we began with a book about two bears that could not seem more different: Panda Big and Panda Small<\/span> by Jane Cabrera. \u00a0This book highlights a lot of fun opposites, but there is one thing that both pandas like — each other! \u00a0We counted some furry bear friends with our second book,\u00a0Five Hungry Pandas! A Count and Crunch Book<\/span> by Alexis Barad-Culter, illustrated by Kyle Poling<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With toddler storytime, we shared the story of a Panda that changes his mind a lot – for good reason – in Please, Mr. Panda by Steve Antony<\/a>. \u00a0We also read about poor Chengdu who can’t find a way to get comfortable at night in\u00a0Chengdu Could Not, Would Not Fall Asleep<\/span> by Barney Saltzberg<\/a>.<\/p>\n
