Definitely silly, but with plenty of opportunity for a discussion about manners afterwards should you so wish, this is a fun story to share

Mr Panda's back in story number three - hurray! This might just be my favourite to date; the final spread certainly had me laughing out loud in delight; and I absolutely love the return of those doughnuts
