(2) K-3 Illustrated by Melissa Sweet. Ruth Harkness, newly widowed, set out in 1936 to complete her husband's mission: to fetch what would be the first-ever panda from China. Her return to America with a young panda was a triumph. The engaging narrative is illustrated with delicate watercolors enriched with collages of Chinese fabrics, maps, postcards, and more to evoke period, place, and dramatic action. Bib.
