Are you sick of being utterly adorable? Tired of being cuddled and hugged? Fed up of having your head confused for your bottom because you just so happen to be SOOOOPER-DOOOOOPER fluffy? If you answered yes to any of those questions, then you’re in the right book. Everyone thinks that Lin is the cutest panda in the world. So much so that they ship her off to the local zoo, away from her beloved brother, to be ogled at by the masses. But Lin HATES being cute, and now she will do everything in her power to prove that she’s the baddest, meanest, most un-cute animal in the zoo.
Justice can be a difficult thing to understand, even for a grownup. So give your kid a head start on the conversation and help them see the core of justice and what it stands for.
Book your crew in for some wonder… And they’ll all read happily ever after!
