Panda and Penguin Find a Thing

  • Interest Level: Preschool - Grade 3
  • Reading Level: Grade 2

When a mystery device comes between two best friends, will they learn to share or decide they’re better off without it at all?

Panda and Penguin are best friends . . . until they find the Thing. The Thing is exciting—it has a flashing screen and makes funny ringing noises—but only one of them can play with it at a time. The Thing comes between them, but is anything worth losing their friendship?

Children and adult readers alike will immediately recognize the Thing as a phone. This lighthearted lesson highlights that while technology is flashy and entertaining, it can also be isolating.
