A giant panda and her baby set off on a search for a safe, sustaining home in this informative tale about an enchanting creature. (Ages 5-8) 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.
Back matter includes an index, and a note about pandas.
