Description

Kindergarten has never been funnier with the launch of this new, strong-willed 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 consistent with plan, and when a pesky girl in a pink bow comes to a decision to be her best friend, she walks out on kindergarten and joins her brother in second grade. It takes an unlikely partner to fix Amanda’s terrible day—and to teach her about friendship, tolerance, and how to deal with life’s usaand downs.
 
Amanda Panda perfectly captures the spirit, motivations, and humor of a headstrong five-year-old girl—and will you’ll want to soothe back-to-school jitters.
