I'll Wait, Mr. Panda by Steve Antony

2.0

J'aime toujours monsieur panda, qui est mignon comme tout même s'il est grognon. Les illustrations noires et blanches sont aussi super jolies.

Par contre, l'histoire, malgré sa structure répétitive, n'a pas rejoint les enfants avec lesquels j'ai utilisé le livre. Ils se sont vite lassés. Du coup, je reviens avec le premier, qu'ils aiment toujours autant!

Picture books. They make my little heart go pitter-patter with joy. Good picture books, that is.

Please, Mr. Panda makes my little heart go swish-swish. Happily. Donuts. Kindness. Politeness. Generosity.

I'll Wait, Mr. Panda makes my little heart go lub-lub. Oh-so-sweetly. Patience. And more donuts.

I love books about grumpy people with hearts of gold. Mr. Panda is one of my new favorites in picture books.

Love the design, very much like the story. The Panda + Doughnut combo wins again!

A super simple and cute lesson in being patient.

A huge hit with my bilingual storytime crowd. We all said "goodbye/adiós" together as everybody except Penguin is too impatient to wait for Panda's surprise.

Mr. Panda strikes me as a grumpy guy. I don't know if I'd have waited to see what he was baking either, because he doesn't seem big on conversation. Maybe if I knew penguin was waiting too I'd stay and chat with them, but otherwise sitting silently in Mr. Panda's kitchen isn't my idea of a good time, regardless of what the surprise is. Anyway, the point is that patience reaps rewards and if you can't be patient you won't get a giant donut. But also what if all those bunnies went off and had a much better time doing something else fun, and they didn't even want a giant donut? Maybe they're all gluten free and they would have been waiting for a disappointment! A lot of the animals were pretty rude to Mr. Panda though so maybe they didn't deserve a giant donut after all. Penguin seems like the type to share with everyone regardless of whether or not they deserve it so probably everyone will get some anyway.
