The Panda Problem Summary

The Panda Problem by Deborah Underwood

Every story needs a problem. But Panda doesn't have a problem. Unless . . . . Panda is the problem. The New York Times bestselling author of Here Comes the Easter Cat and The Quiet Book loses control of the narrative in the funniest, most exuberant, most kid-delighting way in this adventurous ode to what makes a story - and what makes a story great.

The Panda Problem Reviews

An Indie Next List Selection

Master of meta Underwood's witty narrative and Marks' cute, colored-pencil illustrations come together to create a comical struggle for control between a narrator and their rebellious creation. Highly entertaining and laugh-out-loud funny. -Kirkus

Being a narrator should be straightforward . . . But what happens when the protagonist refuses to play along? . . . Readers will gleefully embrace the anarchy that Underwood's supremely silly repartee has unleashed. -Publishers Weekly

Excellent . . . [a] cute, cute book. -School Library Connection

Kid-friendly . . . visually appealing . . . cheeky . . . adorable . . . Underwood's latest meta tale creatively explains storytelling fundamentals, slyly defining plot, setting, and characters as the panda upends the norms. Now, thanks to the panda's shenanigans, readers will be 'story experts,' too. -The Horn Book

This read-aloud thrives on its quirky self-awareness, and it's an entertaining introduction to humorous meta-textuality for young kids. . . . Listeners who take to this may want to check out Underwood's series starring Cat, starting with Here Comes the Easter Cat. -BCCB

A hilarious, inventive, laughter-inducing meta tale. . . . A joyful read aloud. -School Library Journal, The Classroom Bookshelf blog
