In this simple story, sleep eludes one sole panda of many in a bamboo grove. His search for the right position ends in a sweet slumber, but ends up awakening another.

I liked that although this book is short, it conveyed the desperate feelings one has when unable to sleep, and the many positions one may try, while introducing a few new words at the same time. It also displayed the need for companionship many feel in order to enter dreamland. My children enjoyed the charming ending, especially.
