Are they eat bamboo too?  Are there many pandas in China?Have you ever seen one before? The classroom was full of joy. The children’s eyes revealed their love for pandas and could not wait to see China’s cutest Panda. Then after introducing the panda, the teacher showed some pictures of the panda and gave the students blank paper.
