WOW!! What did I just read?! This is definitely not a children’s book lol! However, Dahlia Gallin Ramirez gives you quite the naughty adult education in Sex and The Single Panda! Oh and there are illustrations as well. I seriously could stop laughing at all the fun mating ritual facts that I came across. This is a book that everyone will be talking about!

Sex and The Single Panda is a very fast paced quick read that holds your attention if you have an open mind.

I love how his idea for this book came from watching nature shows and then he just went with it. This is an incredibly wild, blunt, funny, out there read that will have you rolling on the floor laughing!!!

Sex and The Single Panda comes with an index in the back of the book.

The illustrations in the book were very lifelike and colorful.

This is just one of those funny table books that you can pick up and put down whenever you have a moment. Filled with interesting facts about the naughtier side of nature, I enjoyed the cute illustrations and learned a thing or two about wildlife. A quick read, this is definitely an adult natured book but fun. It would be a valuable addition to public libraries.

Sort of like eavesdropping on dating profiles on Wild Kingdom, this book totally rocks; the illustrations are fabulous and I am now a die-hard fan of Dahlia Gallin Ramirez.

I think the illustrations make the book, but there are lots of gems and I was eating lunch yesterday, reading this on my phone, and literally snorted out loud, in McDonald’s (don’t judge) several times.

If you’re at a cocktail party and people want to know if any animal has a detachable penis or a 7 inch clit, well, you’re ready. Need dating advice on “How to Live with a Sexual Cannibal” . . . well, it’s all spelled out, right here.

Been thinking slinging urine seems unusual but you’ve heard it works for some, look no further; all you need to know about using this magical aphrodisiac is right here as well as sex secrets of the Scarlet-Bodied Wasp Moth, Sand-Dwelling Wolf Spider, and the Green Spoonworm !!

Chronicle Books always does good work and this book is no exception. I can see people laughing at this and giving it to their friends and hearing about them laughing and loving it, too.

So, yeah, Sex and the Single Panda: The Revolting Pursuit of Love in the Animal Kingdom . . . 5 Stars

This picture book was really fun to try and guess which animal had the matching mating ritual. The drawings were cute and it’s written in a very fun tongue in cheek type of way. If anything, my Google search history after this book might be a little awkward to explain…
Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Really funny, but also informative! This would be perfect for a white elephant gift (pun intended) or other fun novelty gift.

This book was hilarious and full of trivia fun! I read it to my husband who is a huge animal lover and we had a great time going through it!

Sex and the Single Panda: The Revolting Pursuit of Love in the Animal Kingdom.  This book had me intrigued from the cover.  And even more intrigued as I read the introduction and saw "You may see yourself in here. Or maybe you'll recognize an ex. You may find yourself saying things like 'I would have sex with the clownfish!'" and "Although everything in this book is what you might call 'disgusting.' I'll ask you to remember that everything depicted here is 100% from nature, and nature can never be wrong."  Then I started wondering just what I got myself into by opening this book... 

Turns out I'm a parasitic fly, so, there's that... There's also way too many spiders in this book for a book with a panda on the cover!  And you will finish this book knowing way more about animals mating habits than you ever really wanted to, but hey, maybe they'll come in handy as fun facts at parties?

This is a quick read, a little gross, a lotta fun and worth it if you have some time to kill. (and you might not be the only one?)

I received a free e-copy of this book to read from NetGalley and was not otherwise compensated.

Thank you for the E-Arc. Sex and the Single Panda is a fun romp through the animal kingdom. It takes us through the most important part of keeping a species alive, procreation. Really enjoyable and fun little illustrations.
