Items related to Dear Panda
Living in a new house and about to start at a new school, Florence feels sad that all her friends are a long way away. So, she decides to write a letter to the panda who lives in the zoo next door to her new house, asking him to be her friend. Happily, he obliges. Soon, when Flo is asked to stand up in front of her whole class and talk about any special friends she has, it only seems right to tell everyone about Panda, and for him to come for a visit.
It’s thanks to Panda that Flo meets Bea, a little girl who shares her love of pandas and swimming, and hula-hooping, and all kinds of other things. A quiet, introspective story about finding the confidence to make new friends, Dear Panda plays with the boundaries of what’s real and what’s imagined, and gives readers a new way to think about finding kindred spirits.

Florence had just moved.
She liked her new room, and her new garden, and most of all, Florence liked that her new house was right next to a zoo.
Florence loved seeing all the animals, but the one she liked best was the panda.
But even pandas couldn't make Florence feel better when she got a letter from her new school.
