AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH
Queen Panda has not slept in days and everyone is exhausted from serving her. The advisor sends out a decree that there will be a reward for anyone who can make the queen sleep. Who will be able to find a cure for the queen?
A fun story that brought animals from around the world with different sleep solutions. The animal characters and illustrations were well done and very colorful. I enjoyed after all the typical sleep solutions failed the surprise ending of what made the queen finally fall asleep. Children will enjoy and anticipate trying to figure out how the queen will finally close those eyes.
