Bookroo's summary

At the bustling Panda Palace, a hungry elephant, carsick lions, and fleeing pigs join a lively feast. As the restaurant fills to the brim, Mr. Panda faces a dilemma: can he make room for one more? This delightful counting tale explores themes of inclusion and kindness, leaving readers wondering if there's always space for another guest.

"Then through all the noise came a knock at the door. A tiny mouse asked, 'Is there room for one more?'" "No matter how many, no matter how few, There will always be room at the Palace for you."
