“Book Descriptions:Kindergarten has never been funnier with the launch of this new, strong-willed girl character, in the style of Ladybug Girl, Lilly s Purple Plastic Purse, and Bread and Jam for Frances. Amanda Panda has BIG ideas for her first day of school. But when things don t go according to plan, and when a pesky girl in a pink bow decides to be her best friend, she walks out on kindergarten and joins her brother in second grade. It takes an unlikely partner to save Amanda s terrible day and to teach her about friendship, tolerance, and how to cope with life s ups and downs. Amanda Panda perfectly captures the spirit, motivations, and humor of a headstrong five-year-old girl and will be sure to soothe back-to-school jitters."” DRIVE
