Peter Panda Melts Down Hardcover – February 11, 2014
by Artie Bennett (Author), John Nez (Illustrator)
Every kid has them, and every parent, or kid-caretaker, has had to deal with them - those meltdown-tantrum-pitching-a-fit moments! Peter Panda has them - when it's time to leave the playground, when some other child has the book he wants, when Mama insists he eat some broccoli. When this happens: Uh-oh. Here it comes. Here comes that frown. Peter Panda melts dowwwnnn! Presented with humor and understanding, Artie Bennett's bright and sprightly story offers a way for children to recognize their own behaviors. Parents and kids can talk about what they see on the pages and gain some insight on how to handle such incidents - including when Mama Panda has a little meltdown of her own!
From School Library Journal
PreS-K—Bennett's rhyming, bouncy text follows a day in the life of Peter Panda and his mother. He throws a tantrum at every juncture, and she reacts by distracting her son with new activities, such as visiting the library or a park. Finally, she cracks and shouts at him. With a "kids will be kids" message, the story misses an opportunity to present the deeper motivations of Peter and his mother and ultimately lacks the nuance of other books dealing with frustration and feelings, as in Molly Bang's When Sophie Gets Angry (Scholastic, 1999). Nez's pastel-hued digital illustrations make the young panda look sweet even in his most angry state. Although Peter Panda will resonate with any reader who throws—or quells—tantrums, it isn't a first purchase.—Nora Clancy, Teachers College Community School, New York City
Review
"I love Bennett's dexterity with rhyming text. His lines are always a joy to read, and they roll off the tongue like in the best of rhyming picture books. I'll be using this title in story times for sure. A great book for parents to share with their kids to talk about feelings and work through difficulties transitioning between activities."
--The Show Me Librarian
"Hilarious to read through to the conclusion. I highly recommend this book for parents who have little ones who enjoy wonderful rhythmic books with fun lines. This book begs to be reread!"
--The Styling Librarian
"Great book! There hasn't been a picture book that explains temper tantrums in story and picture quite like Peter Panda Melts Down! Entertaining and educational, this well-done story will open the discussion between parent and child about better ways to handle being upset. Another important book for children!"
--Terri Forehand (children's book blogger)
"This is an utterly charming book that had my son and I chuckling and reminiscing about his toddler years. I love the way Bennett uses humor, rhyme and creative prose to bring to life those memorable years. Super cute illustrations. Bennett's books are the perfect medicine for gloomy moods."
