Panda Waits

Big Panda knows how to wait

Luna’s blue ball bumps down the steps and lands in a big puddle, just out of reach. Luna whines and circles. Panda waits for the wind, and Luna sits down to wait with him.

  • For the “I want it now” moments: Luna can’t reach, so she sits and waits

From the back cover

Luna pushes the blue ball. Push, push! Bump, bump, bump, down the steps. Splash! Into a big puddle goes the ball, too far for Luna to reach. Around and around runs Luna. And big, soft Panda? “Panda waited.” Soon Luna sits down and waits too. Whoosh goes the wind. Roll, roll. Out comes the ball!

About this book

Book 1 is where The Adventures of Panda and Luna begins. Panda is a big, soft Great Pyrenees, and Luna is a quick little husky. The whole story fits on a lap: one short line per page, a puddle, a ball, and a breeze that does the work.

It suits the waiting parts of a little one’s day, like waiting for the bath to fill or for a turn on the swing. After the last page, ask what Luna did while the ball was stuck, and make the whoosh of the wind together.
