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.)

Read this for my Neil Gaiman kick.Poor little Chu has to deal with a big problem - his over-the-top sneezes. This makes going anywhere quite an adventure as we will soon see.Hats off to the illustrator for this one. I've never seen a sneeze so realistically portrayed in a book. It'l like when you see a picture of someone yawning and you suddenly have the urge to yawn. That's what it was like with sneezes in this book.Audiobook CommentsYes, there actually is an audiobook for this teeny-tiny book. It's read by Neil Gaiman and it's surprisingly adorable. Love all the sneezes!YouTube | Blog | Instagram | Twitter | Facebook | Snapchat @miranda_reads

4.5 / 5Solo Neil Gaiman es capaz de hacerte amar tanto a un personaje que has conocido en tan pocas páginas. Chu siempre será uno de mis personajes favoritos de este maestro de la literatura. ¡Todos a leer esta trilogía!

LOVE this series! Favorite parts--Chu breaking the ocean ("You broke the ocean!?" is what I can picture everyone thinking )and the mer-pandas.

Chu is becoming one of my favorite characters in picture books! Thank you Neil Gaiman! I hope this isn't the last "ah choo" of Chu. The art work and illustrations are fun and adorable/lovable. Great job with the illustrations Adam Rex! (Adam, I also like the bunny suit! Sorry about the allergies...) The 3rd book in the Chu's series is another wonderful day for Chu the cuddly little panda who's sneezes are bringing smiles to bad days. When Chu sneezes good things are happening for me after I read these books!

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 amount of detail in Adam Rex's illustrations are extraordinary. Also, mer-pandas.

Neil Gaiman and Adam Rex join forces for the third installment in this series about Chu the panda. Big things happen when little Chu sneezes. When his family visits the beach, the peculiar force of his sneeze causes all sorts of problems for beachgoers. Can Chu find a way to undo the mess he’s made?I’d have to give adorable factor of this book a 10 out of 10. The artwork is exceptional, with vibrant colors, high detail, and a pleasantly hand-brushed style. Word density varies widely from page to page, avoiding any visual monotony. The story passively explores several possible causes for sneezing whilst depicting a physics-defying scenario that older children will quickly recognize as “weird” or “silly.”It’s a cute story, to be sure. But parents hoping to convey a moral or lesson may be a bit disappointed. There’s plenty of imagination to be had (i.e. merpandas!), but not much by way of profound or educational conclusions. This hardback book is 30 pages in length and is suitable for ages 4-8.

The love-able but sneeze prone panda Chu returns for his third adventure, a day at the beach. Everything seems to be going fine for Chu until his nose starts to tickle and he can’t help but sneeze one of his oversize sneezes. Will the beach ever be the same? A giggle worthy title that any sneeze obsessed child will adore. Adam Rex’s oil and mixed media illustrations shine as each page sets a detailed scene for Chu’s adventures on that page. Neil Gaiman’s clever text creates anticipation for what is to come and the conclusion of the story will leave you with contentment as Chu gets tucked into bed with a treasured memento from his day at the beach. I would highly recommend this book for purchase by any school or public library.This book was provided by the publisher for professional review by SWON Libraries.

I just couldn't resist a picture book written by Neil Gaiman featuring the beach. This was such a favorite when we borrowed it from the library that I bought a copy for my son's shelves. Cute and clever and such a fun read. My son LOVES helping out with the sound effects. We will definitely be checking out the other Chu books soon.

Chu is a panda whose sneezes have an enormous impact on his surroundings.In this book, his sneeze messes up the beach, and he has to figure out how to make things right again. My favorite part was when the family of merpandas showed up. The five stars are for the merpandas.The kids giggled at all the silly things that happened on the beach, especially near the ending.

A very cute panda who likes to sneeze very-very big and loud. It's just a recipe for a whole lot of mess. But also very very funny. I laugh out loud reading this. The master of story teller Neil Gaiman combine with amazing and detailed illustrations by Adam Rex is a recipe for awesomeness. Highly recommended!
