and Red Panda live in a run down zoo. Turns out that Red Panda has been leaving
everyday and going out into the real world and having an awesome time. Finally
Hippo goes too and the pair get a job. It doesn’t quite work out and so they
get job after job. Finally they realize that the best job is right in their own
back yard. Features easy format graphic novel style artwork.
I liked
this book a lot, its both sweet and wholesome. The animals go on a fun adventure that
features tons of jobs that student readers will recognize. The ending is a good
life lesson for us all. The art style is bright and engaging. I would peg with
as perfect for 1-2nd graders, even though it’s a big long, its
mostly illustrations.
