Synopses & Reviews

Synopsis:

A giant panda and her baby set off on a search for a safe, sustaining home in this informative tale about an enchanting creature.

High on a mist-wrapped mountain, a mother panda cradles her newborn, pink and impossibly small. The bamboo patch they need for food is dying, and as soon as her baby is old enough, they must seek a new home, sleeping in trees and swimming across icy streams along the way. Nick Dowson's lyrical text, interspersed with intriguing facts, follows one of nature's most magnificent — and endangered — species on its search for a safe habitat, while Yu Rong's expressive, delicate brushwork brings these legendary creatures to life.

Kids Literati, January 4, 2008 (view all comments by Kids Literati)
Panda bears are an enchanting species, so majestic and rare, yet seemingly cuddly and sweet. Tracks of a Panda is a beautiful children's book about a mama panda and her newborn baby panda, and their struggle to survive.

This gorgeous book illustrates the care and nurturing of the baby panda as the mother struggles to find bamboo for food and a home that is safe from predators, both animal and human.

Alongside the story of the pandas are informative facts about panda bears and their life, habits, skills, and challenges. A lovely story, a reflection of the universal bond between mother and baby, and the fragile struggle for survival.
