A stuffed panda’s letters from the baby’s room

Panda, a plush toy separated from her owner Benny, writes letters pleading to leave the baby’s room. Her complaints about the baby’s drool and excitement give the story its comic setup, while Panda’s reluctant softening introduces a sibling relationship through the eyes of a displaced toy. The epistolary format makes Panda’s messages the frame for this picture-book story, bringing together grumbling humor, attachment to a favorite toy, and an emerging bond between siblings.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Picture-book readers ages 4–8 who enjoy stories about toys and family life.
  • Siblings and families preparing for or adjusting to a new baby.
  • Children who enjoy a humorous, letter-based story.

Book overview

A 2026 Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection

 

The snarky humor of The Day the Crayons Quit meets the sweet, earnestness of Can I Be Your Dog?, in this epistolary picture book about a forgotten Panda stuffy!

 

Meet Panda: she's grumpy, she's snarky, she's a ball of mischief, and... she's been abandoned in the BABY'S room! Follow along as cheeky Panda the stuffy writes letters to Benny, her owner and the big brother, pleading to be rescued from the drooly, boring, (...and kinda cute?) baby.

 

Librarian and educator Elaine Su's debut picture book tells the story of a snarky, witty Panda who is eager to get back to her owner, Benny, but finds herself begrudingly warming up to the drooly and excitable Baby. Award-winning illustrator, Charlene Chua's irresistibly cute art and clever background details are sure to make every reread feel new! Perfect for little siblings, big siblings, and clever pandas.
