Synopsis

Little Panda can only afford a very small plant for his mother's birthday present. He hides it in the attic and gives the tiny plant his Moonlight, because although Little Panda is afraid of the dark, the plant needs the Moonlight more than he does. On the day of the birthday, Little Panda leads his parents up to attic, and opens the door onto a big surprise! This second picture book featuring Little Panda deals in a gentle and positive way with children's fear of the dark. The simple, warm story is accompanied by glowing watercolour illustrations, and a spectacular pull-out page at the end.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Little Panda is frightened of the dark, so he has a moonlight lamp on at night. But the only thing he can afford to get for Mum's birthday is one very small plant, and it needs light. He has to put it in the attic, as it's the one place Mum won't look, and it's not light up there at all. So Little Panda lets the plant have his special lamp: it needs it more than he does. He finds that soon he gets used to the dark, and doesn't find it frightening any more. And when it's time to show Mum her present, the little plant has grown into an extravaganza of foliage seething with exotic birds!
