Stillwater and Koo, adult and child pandas, have so much to do today! Koo wants to save the world. After eating waffles for breakfast, they clean Koo's room, take care of the cat, and visit the fishpond - where they spend some time clearing leaves and feeding the fish. They make a cake for their neighbors, take a bike ride, and talk about ways to save the world. Koo wonders if it's even possible. 

I really liked the message of kindness and caring. A bit odd that Stillwater and Koo have human neighbors, but it didn't detract from the story. I can see using Stillwater and Koo Save the world to teach children that doing something small can make a difference.
