This fun and whimsical tale is beautifully illustrated with original hand-printed artwork.
It engages children by inviting them to spot the hidden animals on the pages.
A small girl called Amanda converses with a haughty cat called Panda in this whimsical nonsense-style poem. Inspired by a real cat called Panda, we find out about his slightly superior character, why he is named after another animal and his fondness for bamboo. Playing with a 'black and white' theme throughout, magpies, cows and zebras all get a mention, with additional animals popping up in unexpected places.
Amanda, Panda, and friends come to life with the unique hand-printed illustrations that incorporate striking splashes of color into the black and white palette.
Makes the perfect gift for all children who love animals, beautiful stories, poems and in particular, cats!
