Synopsis

Pudding the Panda makes everyone smile at Edinburgh Zoo. But what would make her truly happy is a family to take care of—like her heroine, Mary Poppins.

Meanwhile, Callum is having a hard time at home. His parents keep arguing. His sister is annoying and his ninth birthday gift is a certificate for an 'adopted' panda when all he wanted was Lego.

Then by a twist of fate, the unbelievable happens and the two come together on Callum's front doorstep … pandamonium!
