Learn to say ‘Please’ with Mr Panda in this charmingly funny story. In a sturdy board book, perfect for even the youngest readers.

Mr Panda has a tray of doughnuts. Patiently and politely, Mr Panda asks his friends if they would like one. Each animal says yes, but without the all-important ‘please’! Is anyone worthy of Mr Panda’s doughnuts?

Reviews

Very sophisticated
Montreal Gazette
For the grandchildren Please Mr Panda by Steve Antony has been the number one
Books For Keeps
A simple, funny lesson in manners
Books For Keeps
The Queen's Hat highlighted Antony as a hot new talent, and this, his third book, will win him more fans. A witty look at manners.
Bookseller
A simple morality tale... does the job beautifully.
The Times (Children's Book of the Week)
Will spark discussion and deserves multiple readings. I love Mr Panda's expressions and have felt that way myself before when people aren't polite. Your best buy BEFORE Christmas especially for little ones yelling I WANT!
South Wales Evening Post (Swansea)
A simple, funny lesson in manners...The book has a Jon Klassen appeal to it, with its repeated text, restricted colour palate. minimalist backgrounds and the way that sometimes only tiny changes to the artwork - a raised eyebrow on the whale for instance - are used to convey different emotions
Books For Keeps
uses monochrome to splendid effect, not just for the quite justifiably grumpy Mr Panda, but for all the animals he meets and to whom he offers his delicious, brightly-coloured tray of doughnuts. Each of them is refused and clever young children will soon guess the reason why
The School Librarian
Smart design decisions by Antony distinguish his visual storytelling.
Publishers Weekly
Steve Antony is one to keep an eye on.
picturebooksblogger
A beautifully designed and illustrated picture book of unparalleled deliciousness
