The Not-So-Sleepy Little Panda - by David Walker (Hardcover)

About the Book

When Little Panda struggles to fall asleep, her parents are there to comfort her.

Book Synopsis

A charmingly cozy rhyming picture book about a sweet little panda who has trouble falling asleep.

The moon is too far,
the stars are too high.
Little Panda is scared
by the dark of the sky.
But a marvelous bug,
with a magical light,
is just what she needs
to sleep through the night.

It's time for bed, but Little Panda wants to stay awake! Her bed is too lumpy, lullabies don't work, and the dark is a little scary. But with the help of her parents and some twinkling friends, Little Panda might face her fears after all. Maybe, just maybe, she'll even fall asleep!

Review Quotes

"Walker's sweet, lyrical rhyming lines are accompanied by the author's soothing pastel illustrations that feature wild animals who are as cute as stuffed animals and going through their own challenges just like human children. Little Panda's tale is sure to resonate with kids who like to ask a lot of questions when the lights go out and everyone is tucked in for the night."--Booklist "February 2025"

"A sweet nighttime offering that will lead to snuggles and yawns."--Kirkus Reviews "1/1/25"
