Official Review: Rhonda the Panda by Hope Franklin

[Bianka Walter]

That's so true, they are naturally lethargic. It's maybe like you say - everyone loves pandas, they are the cutest!
That sneezing panda on YouTube is my favourite video ever. (I'm sure you've seen it, but if you haven't - Google sneezing panda)

Thanks for sharing the video; it's my first time to see it. Wish it was longer, though. It's amazing that that little thing could make such noise and startle its momma.

I also discovered that caring for a panda is five times more expensive than caring for an elephant!

Well then, that settles it.
We are all getting elephants.

It's a shame the story lacks direction since the illustrations are lovely. Thanks for your honest review.

They really are lovely

That's the book has colorful illustrations which lure children to read this book. But definitely the plot is main thing which should have been focused. Thanks four your honest review.

This is a very nice and critical review. Teaching that children playing is also fun and important is paramount in today's world where most kids spend time in front of screens playing games or watching. I do not have a definite view on why the author repeated the word 'many' severally. Maybe it was meant to be so or other words could have appeared complicated.

Sad to hear about the shortcomings of the book I hope they get fixed. Thanks for the honest review.

Poor Cato. I feel bad for him that his sister didn't want to play until their cousin came along. That's not a good inclusion for a children's book. The author should have promoted the idea that playing with one's siblings is enjoyable.

Too bad about the storyline, but I bet kids will love the pictures.

You are right, with so many electronics these days, playing outside is a great idea!

Absolutely! Especially when siblings have a natural rivalry between them, this type of message doesn't quite help.

If I loved the pictures, I'm sure kids will too

LOL. I looked up the Sneezing panda, there was mama and baby panda and I was wondering who is going to sneeze. I must have had the volume turned up, it took me by surprise when the baby panda did sneeze. I shall resist the urge to look at more videos.

It sounds like this would be a great book for kids to flip through with the illustrations. Unfortunately the plot holes would make it frustrating for a parent who might have to read the same book over and over to the child. Great review, Bianka!

I'll be sure not to share any other videos
But, I mean, come on. A sneezing baby panda. It really does win the internet.
