"Yay Pandas! Now that I got that out of the way . . . I love the intermingling of the zen stories within the actual story. The illustrations are amazing and the story is amusing. "He spoke with a slight panda accent." What a "panda accent" sounds like I do not know, but I must say that I am dying to find out now. Muth even includes a nice explanatory author's note regarding Zen and his characters. All-in-all this story was very well done, but my opinion is slightly biased. After all, I wanted a panda long before this, and now I want one even more."
