review 1: I enjoyed this book, mostly for the lessons it teaches about listening to parents and dealing with danger. Bao Bao mother told him to find a better tree but he didn't listen to her is an example of how teachers can take that and turn it around to instill to children that it is important to listen to their parents. And when the tiger begins to chase Bao Bao and he runs, that can be used to teach that sometimes when in danger the best thing to do is to just run away.Lesson: A good lesson I would use could be to play Panda Says (Simon Says) which is themed to the book. That lesson could be used to help teach listening to the children as they have to listen to the instructions of the teacher. Then you could even include a direction that says "Panda says run away from danger!" ... moreto tie in with the book.
review 2: A grandfather tells his grandson a story about a baby panda that loves to sleep in his favorite tree even though it really is too small for him. One day when his mother travels far to find bamboo for dinner the little panda is in his too-small tree. While his mother is gone a tiger sneaks up on the panda baby and climbs his too-small tree. The small panda climbs higher and higher but he eventually falls out of the tree, causing the tiger to go flying from the springing branch.A sweet story. Children might find it hard to understand that the tiger went flying because the weight of the panda was holding down the branch he was on. When the panda fell the branch bounced back into place sending the tiger flying through the air. less
