I enjoy Neil Gaiman, and this would be a cute and funny addition to anyone's collection.

The third book deals with Chu sneezing at the beach. Of course the little panda sneezes and splits the water. The problem is getting him to sneeze again to fix it. I liked the art in this one better than the last one and as a bonus it explains to kids that sometimes you sneeze when you look at the sun. A cute picture book and fits well with the previous two.

I feel like Chu's day at school was a bit more fun because it played off the first day insecurities plotline and all the kids introduced themselves and then Chu's introduction was to sneeze the place all to hell--I think it observed some poetic unity or rule of proportion or something--but this one is more intriguing because Chu's sneeze actually cleaves water (which stays cleaved, whales out floating in midair with sad looks) and thus, implicitly, the fabric of the universe, raising the question What are you, Chu? What are you really?

Another funny Chu story. Great for kids who feel like stuff always happens to them.
