uhhhh, where are those scent glands at? Wow at the age of two they live on their own and at age 4 they can mate, woah. Well I learned that pandas only live to be about 25 years old. I'm wondering though if pandas originally ate only meat and then over time they adapted to mostly bamboo where did the special thumb come from, did they have them while they were carnivores or is that an adaptation? I think it would be so fun to turn my class into a panda sanctuary for a week. learning more and more about them as we read books like this one. I learned a lot form this book. ( )

This book is essentially a list of facts about Giant Pandas with corresponding illustrations, which are occasionally diagrammed. I can't really think of much of a theme other than information, which hardly counts. Most pages are just non-sequitur informational panels with facts about diet, communication, parenting, etc.

I had trouble trying to think of ways to teach this book in a secondary curriculum. Maybe a science teacher could utilize it in some way, but it seems more appropriate for an elementary classroom. While I'm quite interested in pandas, I don't think listing panda facts would be good pedagogy. ( )

This book is all about pandas. Full of information relating to their characteristics, eating habits and reproduction cycle. Can use this is a science lesson on how the environment and human influences can effect the population of certain creatures in the wild. For a student who is interested in wildlife and science this is the book for them. ( )
