Five Hungry Pandas! A Count and Crunch Book

A large die-cut window provides opportunities for simple addition and subtraction as readers help five pandas find their way to food. With each page turn, one panda after another moves to the left side of each spread, where the getting is good: “4 hungry pandas find food to chew./ But 1 hungry panda still needs bamboo!” Barad-Cutler isn’t terribly precise with her rhymes (“yummy” with “tummies,” “snack” with “nap”), but Poling’s summery setting and adorably fuzzy pandas make for an appealing package. Ages 2–4. Illustrator’s agent: Liz Sanders, Liz Sanders Agency. (June)
