Review

This book is all about how the giant panda bear is being saved from extinction. The beginning of the book is just ok. There were good photos and some cool facts, but it might not grab a reader's attention enough to make them continue reading. However, when the story of Tao Tao, a real baby giant panda, is introduced, the story was became very interesting. How humans worked to enable him to be an independent giant panda that could survive in the wild was pretty amazing.

Overall Book Score: very good
