Upon my first reading of this book I was horribly disappointed and getting irritated with the quality of children books. I had just received it and read through it quickly. Here was a Panda with a box of wonderful donuts going around asking other animals if they would like a donut. All of the animals want one of course (all except the flamingo), but in all cases the Panda tells them, "No, you cannot have one. I've changed my mind" and walks away. Then in the end he meets a Meer Cat(?) and asks if he wants a donut. The Meer Cat says yes and the Panda gives him the entire box and says he doesn't like donuts. I was left thinking, "What the heck is that about?!"That was the quick read. What I hadn't realized was in all cases except Panda's last encounter, the animals hadn't remembered their manners. They never said "please" or "thank you." They simply told Panda what they wanted, "I want the blue one and the yellow one." It's not until the Meer Cat says, "Yes, PLEASE!" does he get the entire stash.I get the sense that Panda is depressed by the state of the modern world (just look at his face), where manners are a thing of the past. So he goes and buys a box of donuts in hopes of finding that his little creature friends haven't forsaken their manners. As he goes along asking the rude animals, he's grows ever sadder. Then when he gets to the last animal, rather than feeling ecstatic that they remembered their manners, he's actually depressed that only one out of a 5 creatures remembered their manners, which is why he gives the entire box away and walks off disgruntled. That's my take on it.UPDATE: My kids love to read this book, and believe it or not, it's really helped them to remember their manners!
