Chee-Kee: A Panda in Bearland is a well illustrated book about the struggles of being "different" in a new land. In the book, Chee-Kee and his family arrive in Bearland and find that they are the only pandas. The natives are curious about their differences and Chee-Kee has no idea about the culture there. Some of the things in Bearland, he has never even seen before. Because of this, Chee-Kee doesn't feel comfortable in Bearland and misses his home. Until one day, as some of the other bears are playing, Chee-Kee finds a way to use his own culture to save the day. The bears are happy and they become fast friends. The book teaches a very positive lesson that no matter where a person comes from, you can appreciate each others differences and even teach each other a few things. ( )
