The warm gray backdrop and parade of black and white animals (a skunk, an ostrich, an orca) make the candy-colored doughnuts look all the more tantalizing. Novel perspectives ... provide freshness, too. -- <i>Publishers Weekly</i>Tiny young listeners may be so pleased -- and relieved -- to see the dazzling treats given away that they won't notice how deftly they've been given a manners lesson. Households with toddlers may find a new family catchphrase as Mr. Panda demonstrates one approach to eliciting those elusive 'magic words.' <b>Simple yet funny enough for multiple readings.</b> -- <i>Kirkus Reviews</i>Though this is a book with a clear message, the <b>humor and attractive design</b> give it a bit of an edge and keep it out of the realm of the heavy-handed, 'Let's learn a lesson' titles. <b>A fun storytime selection</b> and a solid option for parents or teachers looking for <b>a creative way to emphasize the importance of saying, 'Please' and 'Thank you.'</b> -- <i>School Library Journal</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Steve Antony is the popular author and illustrator of <i>Please, Mr. Panda</i>; <i>I'll Wait, Mr. Panda</i>; <i>Thank You, Mr. Panda</i>; <i>The Queen's Hat</i>; <i>Green Lizards vs. Red Rectangles</i>; and <i>Betty Goes Bananas</i>. <i>The Queen's Hat</i> was nominated for the Kate Greenaway Medal in the UK.
