Some other less known facts are that it takes four years to tell if a panda cub is a boy or girl, they use eleven different calls to communicate with each other, and the cubs are pink when they are born. The color comes from their mother's saliva when she licks them. Pandas can eat more than 22,000 pounds of bamboo each year. People love to watch pandas at the zoo or by video cameras. Schreiber's book will give readers the chance to see these delightful animals in pictures. Illustrations are in color. Reviewer: Della A. Yannuzzi
