Nayu's thoughts
As
you can see this is a mega cute tale of a daddy panda helping his son
panda be less afraid of the dark. I kind of wish I had this when I
was little, as the way the father shows his son there's nothing to be
afraid of is clever and effective. I eagerly turned over each page
not knowing what would happen next (which isn't always the case in
these types of stories). The level of love and trust between them is
evident in their behaviour, I feel readers will benefit from what
this story teaches, and will love the night confidence that they
gain, as well as encouragement to trust their family to take care of
them no matter what.
