A hilarious Mr Panda picture book, about the importance of doing the Bedtime Routine properly!

Mr Panda and his friends are getting ready for bed. But some won’t brush their teeth, others won’t have a bath, and one won’t even wear pyjamas! It’s down to Mr Panda to show them how to do bedtime properly.

“The perfect read to enjoy with little critters who are less than enthusiastic about going to bed. It’s completely charming and full of fun.” WRD books

Look out for more books starring the grumpy (but loveable!) Mr Panda. Over half a million copies sold to date!

Reviews

A wonderfully anarchic observation of the importance of a proper bedtime routine and the mayhem that ensues if things aren't done just right. The perfect read to enjoy with little critters who are less than enthusiastic about going to bed. It's completely charming and full of fun.

WRD books

There are some series that leap out at me from my piles of review copies and Steve Antony's wonderful Mr Panda books come in that category. We are guaranteed a highly enjoyable story along with a meaningful message relating to everyday life that children and adults will love to share. This is perfect for bedtime, of course!
