Synopsis

With a Jon Klassen appeal, Steve Antony is the one to watch.

Panda has a tray of doughnuts. Animal after animal tells him the one they want, but it's only when Lemur says 'please' politely that Panda will give any out!

A witty and stylish lesson that manners will get you EVERYTHING. Even a trayload of doughnuts.

Media Reviews
The Queen's Hat highlighted Antony as a hot new talent, and this, his third book, will win him more fans. A witty look at manners. * Bookseller *

Smart design decisions by Antony distinguish his visual storytelling. * Publishers Weekly *

Very sophisticated * Montreal Gazette *
A simple, funny lesson in manners * Books For Keeps *
A beautifully designed and illustrated picture book of unparalleled deliciousness * WRD About Books *
A simple, funny lesson in manners...The book has a Jon Klassen appeal to it, with its repeated text, restricted colour palate. minimalist backgrounds and the way that sometimes only tiny changes to the artwork - a raised eyebrow on the whale for instance - are used to convey different emotions * Books For Keeps *
uses monochrome to splendid effect, not just for the quite justifiably grumpy Mr Panda, but for all the animals he meets and to whom he offers his delicious, brightly-coloured tray of doughnuts. Each of them is refused and clever young children will soon guess the reason why * The School Librarian *
Will spark discussion and deserves multiple readings. I love Mr Panda's expressions and have felt that way myself before when people aren't polite. Your best buy BEFORE Christmas especially for little ones yelling I WANT! * South Wales Evening Post (Swansea) *
For the grandchildren Please Mr Panda by Steve Antony has been the number one * Books For Keeps *
With bold illustrations and spare prose that keep the mood light and playful, Antony offers a delightful primer on manners your children will ask for again and again * Barnes & Noble *
Author Bio
Steve Antony is a highly talented and versatile author-illustrator. He has had a passion for storytelling from an early age, but it was the MA in Children's Book Illustration at Cambridge that really enabled him to channel this passion. Since embarking on the MA course, he has enjoyed creating picture books on a range of subjects from the Queen's hat to a war between rectangles and lizards! He aims to create picture books that are slightly 'off the wall', books that children will laugh at and adults will tweet about, but most of all, books that he enjoys.
