Official Review: Rhonda the Panda by Hope Franklin

[Bianka Walter]

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 think at the moment, that it would really only be good for flipping through the illustrations. Hopefully the author jacks up the narrative a bit

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!

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.

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.

Oops, I should have said I love Panda videos and when I watch one, I watch another, and lose track of time. They are just so cute. That one was funny.

Great review Bianka! I agree - for a children's book, an imaginative concept is as important as the storyline. Mere illustrations without proper matter and non-directional storyline does nothing but let a child's mind wander aimlessly. Thank you for your review.

I think the illustrations are so much exciting. The concept is very amazing.

Exactly. Illustrations are important, but not the only thing that matters.
Thanks so much for commenting

After reading your review, I just feel sad for the panda's brother! It sounds like it could be a lovely book, if only it was more thoughtful.

I also felt really bad for her brother!

Great review as always. I tried to review this book but my download only gave me the front cover. I thought it looked very attractive too. I can just see a child asking ’why don’t they go in the park?’ and the parent having to come up with some excuse. I bet they hate it when that happens.

Exactly! I was sorta that child... wondering why we didn't see what else was in the park
Thanks Helen

Alas! I had high hopes for this book the moment I started reading your review. But then I got disappointed. I guess the illustrations alone are not enough to pull it off. I loved your vivid and honest review. Thanks Bianka.
