What is Big panda, little panda about?

When a baby sister arrives, Little Panda is given a new name: Big Panda. At first, he dislikes sharing his mum and misses being the little one. Caring for the baby brings extra jobs, while everyone seems too tired for stories and cuddles. But after a cheerful outing, Big Panda begins to understand that being older has its own rewards. When Mum cannot read to him, he discovers he can read to his baby sister instead.
