Xander's Panda Party, Paperback

Xander Panda wants to throw a party, but a panda party would have only one guest--himself. So, he decides to invite all the bears. But Koala protests. She's not a bear--she's a marsupialDoes that mean she can't come? Xander rethinks his decision to invite only bears, and ``Calling all bears`` evolves into ``Calling all creatures.`` The Newbery Medal author Linda Sue Park introduces animal taxonomy in a wonderfully engaging way, and the celebrated artist Matt Phelan's charming ink and watercolor paintings are the icing on the cake.
