Soon, Almost, I'm Not Ready Yet

Soon, Almost, I’m Not Ready Yet introduces the cuddliest of pandas, Maximilian McGillicuddy, who simply wishes to do things his own way, and in his own time. Never one to get ahead of himself, Max makes certain Mama and Papa give him the time he needs to complete his most important tasks. Whether at play or work, day or night, Mama and Papa Panda know Max will move on only when he is genuinely ready. And so, with his parents’ utmost patience, understanding, and occasional attempts at persuasion, Max moves through his day to the delight of those around him.
