Keepsake that Educates!

Book Review and Giveaway: Dinner at the Panda Palace. Ends Sept 17th


Dinner at the Panda Palace by Stephanie Calmenson illustrated by Nadine Bernard Westcott

Guess who’s coming to dinner!

Join one hungry elephant, two carsick lions, three pigs running from a wolf and dozens of other playful yet famished animals as they swing, bounce into the Panda Palace for a hearty meal.

My Review: What a great and fun way to teach children how to count from 1 – 10 with different animals visiting thePandaPalace. Also teaches and show different type of animals in the animal kingdoms. The rhymes are so adorable that children would ask for the book to be read over and over again.  A must have for your children’s library. Great illustrations by Nadine Westcott bring the story rhymes to life. The message in this book is no matter what there is always room for one more.

Ages: 3 -8

Pages: 48

  4. Thanks for reviewing so many awesome books. I’ve been replacing some of the older worn out books with titles I found here and my granddaughter loves finding a new one on “her” shelf when she visits. We often visit the library together and I’m able to find your recommendations to enjoy.

  5. This looks really cute. My little one is currently going through a counting phase (he especially loves counting produce as we put it into the shopping cart). This would be great!

  7. I agreed with the author in that you should surround your child with a wide variety of books and then watch them to see what they relate to. I have 5 kids and they all seem to be different in the types of books they prefer!!

  8. My grandson loves to read books with me where there are rhymes. I know that he would also love the counting of the animals and the pictures of the various animals as they go to eat at the Panda Palace.

  11. Counting and animals – two of our favorite book subjects! My son is still doing pretend toddler counting (bive! two! eight!) so we need to work on this.
