Did you know that baby pandas are only 6 inches and 3.5-4 oz at birth? Amazing. I learned this from a book we checked out of the library called How Many Baby Pandas?
The first pictures in the book are of just-born baby pandas, which are tiny and look nothing like full-grown pandas.

In one of the pictures, the mother panda is carrying her baby--looking like the ones in the picture above--in her mouth.
R's first reaction was, "Mommy panda eating the baby!"
We explained that no, the mama panda wasn't eating the baby, but carrying the baby, and that the mother was, in fact, being verrrry nice to the baby.
A little later, J was talking to R about the book and the baby pandas and he said, "Do you want Mommy to carry you in her mouth?"
and R added, "with no clothes on!"
