pgs. Clarion Books, 2013(Sept). $10.19. Content:
Language: G (0 swears); Mature Content: G; Violence: G.
Xander really
wants to plan a Panda party –big problem with that- he is the only panda at the
whole zoo. So he expands to a bear party. But its not as inclusive as he
thought. Xander keeps expanding his taxonomy parameters in an attempt to
include more and more creatures –finally every one! But there is a big surprise
in store for Xander!
I would put this
book in a category of picture books for older students. While there is a
wonderful emphasis on inclusion, it takes basic taxonomy knowledge to really
understand this. Though I do think younger students would enjoy the
illustrations and the party theme.
