High on a misty mountainside, red panda cubs Popo and Ketu live happily with their mama. As the sisters grow, they promise Mama that they will always stay close to home. But while cautious Popo is content to spend her days in the family’s cosy treetop nest, bold Ketu dreams of excitement and exploration. So when Ketu creeps off down the mountain in search of adventure, Popo must make a choice: will she keep her promise to Mama, or look after her sister?

An action-packed, heart-warming tale of being true to your word and true to yourself, from the creators of the international bestseller The Lion Inside.

I loved this book because the pandas are very cute and I liked the snow leopard.

This book was really good. I’ve nearly got the whole set. I liked when they got home to their mummy. They were safe together.

This book is really fascinating if you're little and really fun. My little sister loves me reading this book to her at bedtime and I think it's good too. It's about how they broke their promise and I would recommend all characters especially the sisters.

The panda's mum made them promise not to go up the mountains or in the forest, and they climbed up the cliff anyway. But they kept their promise to keep each other safe, is what the mum said mattered. I would recommend this book.

I liked it because there were 2 panda cubs and a mother panda and then they promised their mum not to go down a mountain. And then there was a snow leopard. And then her sister came down on a bamboo stick and saved the other sister. And then they got back up the mountain and the mum was happy to see them. I wouldn't recommend it to others.

I liked the red pandas

The moral is ‘if you want something you should always talk to someone about it and they might let you do it’. I like how they find ways to help eachother when they go out on the big scary mountain

The pandas made a promise. But they didn't keep it. They explored a new world and came back to their mummy and said they were sorry. I liked that they made a promise

15 Jul 2026

I liked this story because there were two pandas who had a promise to their mama and one of the pandas broke the promise and one of the pandas had a flower in its ear and one didn't. The one who didn't have the flower broke the promise. There was also a snow leopard and it sprang for the two little sisters! I will recommend it to my friends because they will like it as well.

The best part of this book when both the pandas promised the mum and one of them broke the promise.

03 Sep 2025

Loved this book, it’s like me and my sister

02 Sep 2025

This was a very good book. The pandas didn’t listen to mummy and went down the mountain. They were nearly eaten by a leopard, I didn’t know what was going to happen!

I liked ketu best because she liked to explore but learned a lesson to not break promises and go off.

28 Aug 2025

It teaches you that it is always important to keep your promises!

22 Aug 2025

My favourite characters were the two sisters, Popo and Ketu. They promised to always look out for each other and made another promise to not go far from their mother.

The two sisters loved to explore and broke their promise to not go past the pine tree. They discovered a new place that they like because, there was lots of bamboo, they loved picking flowers and there was a hill that they rolled down, but they ran into a snow leopard. They had to swing a vine to save each other and get back to their mum and promised to never break a promise again.

I would recommend this book because the message is to not make promises if you're going to break them.

14 Aug 2025

A gentle, uplifting tale about keeping promises and caring for the world

08 Aug 2025

I would recommend it to children or adults who likes red pandas
