A clueless panda bear and a wandering kite interrupt a series of unfriendly animals in this mostly wordless book. Loose ink and watercolor illustrations capture panda's missteps in sequential images; as the protagonist topples a pangolin's drum and disrupts a raccoon's game, the offended animals only point out what is "mine" and what is "yours." This visually appealing animal story gently reinforces the importance of community.
