Pants or no pants- that is the question!

I want pants, says a little panda to his father.
You are a panda, answers the father . Pandas do NOT wear pants.

And so begins a hilarious battle of wills when a young panda tries to convince his father why pants make perfect sense. After all, pants are soft. Pants keep you warm. Some pants even have . . . POCKETS! But with a menacing snow leopard lurking in the background, will the longed-for pants end up having an even greater role to play?

Jacqueline Davies's humorous story, with deliciously droll illustrations from Sydney Hanson, captures the push and pull between a parent and child as they face off over the age-old dilemma of what to wear . . . with the most heartwarming of results.

PreS-Gr 2-A young panda tries to persuade his papa that he needs a pair of pants. He gives many convincing reasons ("pants have pockets," "pants are warm," "pants look good"), but to each his father insists that pandas do not wear pants. However, what happens if pants can be used to stymie a menacing snow leopard? The little guy's dad is impressed and ready to relent, but the young panda has moved on. Now, he's fixated on shoes. The warm-hued, soft-textured illustrations with sweet, adorable animals only add to this touching story. VERDICT Pair with Paul Schmid's A Pet for Petunia for two delightfully funny tales that would be perfect for teaching persuasive writing.-Paula Huddy, The Blake School-Highcroft Campus, Wayzata, MN © Copyright 2016.
