Kids will love reading all about the panda Mei Lan, born at the Atlanta Zoo in September 2006. Through her story, theyll learn about what newborn pandas are like (theyre the size of a stick of butter!), about their development, and about what life is like for pandas in the wild. This book also touches on efforts to protect this endangered species.
