A delightful tale, told in rhythm and rhyme, about the joys of including one and all.  Panda starts out planning a panda party, until he realizes he is the only panda at the zoo.  He decides to expand the guest list to include all bears, until his friend Koala Bear points out that he’s not really a bear, but a marsupial.  And so the party expands to include all mammals, until Rhino RSVPs that he won’t attend without his bird.  And so things go until the party is open to all creatures at the zoo, and just as the party is about to begin, a new creature arrives — another panda to join the fun.  An author’s note in the back provides additional scientific information about many of the animals mentioned in the story.
