Genre: Fantasy and Science Fiction
Awards: NA
Grades: Pre-K through 2nd
Mr. Panda is making something to eat and everyone around him is curious as to what he is making. They all ask him," what are you making, Mr. Panda?" and he replies, "wait and see". All the animals walk off and do not wait, except the penguin. He decides to wait and at the end Mr. Panda gives him a HUGE doughnut. He exclaims that the wait was worth it! This book is fantasy because the animals talk to one another and the panda makes a doughnut; something animals do not do in real life.
I would use this book to teach students on the important virtue of being patient. Since the penguin waited, it shows how he was rewarded at the end. I would use this book in grades Pre-K through second grade because it is an appropriate book for students of that age. I would not use this book for a specific unit, but again just for a fun read or to teach them the value of waiting as well as good manners.
