Dear Panda Competition!

Red House are running a fabulous competition to celebrate the release of PP author/illustrator Miriam Latimer's gorgeous new picture book, Dear Panda!

They have a unique Adopt a Panda Kit to give away to one lucky winner. This delightful prize will show your support for these fascinating and intelligent, yet endangered, animals for a whole 12 months. The pack not only helps ongoing conservation efforts to protect pandas, but you will also receive a whole host of other goodies, including a personalised certificate, a giant panda poster and lots of information about these charming creatures. You will receive regular updates about your panda and they will give you a cute panda plush toy too.

To be in with a chance of winning, they want your child to send them their very best drawing of a panda. Please remember to include their name, age and contact details on their entry and to see more details on how to apply, click here. Deadline is 15th September! Good luck!
