I love Chu, and was very excited to find this book. I was disappointed though as I didn't feel the story was clear. My son was mildly amused, but has really enjoyed other Chu stories much more.

This one didn't quite have the same charm as the first two. Possibly because there was too much plot, actually, never really allowing Chu to just be the cute panda from the first two. Plus, there were weird pages of Chu's disembodied head as he was starting to sneeze--just looked odd.

The read-along version of this is an absolute delight.

Wherein Chu goes to the beach and almost causes a environmental catastrophe. With the sneezing. But he's a good panda so he tries to fix it.

Nice audio production but the sneezing panda's name is Chu?

Had a chance to preview this cute book. I like Chu, but it's just more of the same at this point.

Chu is a monster sneezer. Chu would fit in well in our family, we of the loud sneezes. If it’s not ear-splitting, it’s not a sneeze.

Chu is a cute panda that can kill you with cuteness. I love the beach full of all kinds of animals including a seasnake that is swimming with Chu’s dad. Chu gets some ice cream and then the sun is in his eyes and he sneezes and parts the sea. People can walk through the tunnel and see the merpanda’s and whales. It’s quite funny and riffing off Moses parting the sea. Now they have to make Chu sneeze again, but how will it happen.

The nephew laughed at this story. He thought it was great fun. He loved all the animals at the beach and he loved Chu. He gave this 4 stars and I told him I would get some more. I told him, this is why he needs to cover his mouth when he sneezes, so this doesn’t happen. (He never remembers to cover his mouth and it’s really gross at the table.)
