Zen Shorts by Jon J. Muth
True to the title, this book holds three short, traditional tales of Zen Buddhism told in the framework of three children visiting Stillwater the panda. Each story gently leads the reader to a lesson in generosity, luck, and forgiveness. Adding to the text are Muth's fantastic, soft illustrations. Parents will enjoy this book for the moral lessons. Kids will enjoy the idea of hanging out with a giant panda. There are two other books about Stillwater and the children: Zen Ghosts and Zen Ties.
