This is an adorable kids book written in 1990 and it's so dated and adorable. Set in China, it even mentions the language barrier talking to the American vet there to take care of the Giant Pandas. And the illustrations are lovely! Did I mention it's adorable?

My kids liked it more than I did. A fun read aloud that can lead to discussions about China, endangered animals, animal vs. people ethics, and the idea of following your dreams.

A boy living in rural China rescues an orphaned daxiong mao -- a giant panda, and gets to experience firsthand the efforts to preserve China's most famous endangered species.
This was a straightforward and ultimately hopeful story about how helping an animal in need opens up Lu Yi's life to possibilities he had never considered. The details on the panda rescue efforts were interesting, and the character interactions all felt real.
I read this with the Kiddo, who enjoyed it very much, as he does most stories involving animal rescue and conservation.
