PreS-Gr 2--Letters rain down as Amy, an adorable red panda, strives to write the best story in the world, with questionable assistance and constant suggestions from her friends in the animal kingdom. The text is delivered exclusively through dialogue, which makes this story challenging to read aloud; there are multiple speech bubbles on each page. Fortunately, it's the illustrations that really tell the story of the characters and their feelings through humor and expression. VERDICT A lighthearted look at the storytelling process, best suited for one-on-one and small group sharing. Not a necessary purchase, but a justifiable one. --Betsy Davison, Cortland Jr. Sr. High School, NY
