My panda? Well done, that's correct! 

But you know what else?

The crosswords in the book it's holding!

With titles like "funketown," "get thee to a punnery!" and "om nom nom," you know that these are not your everyday crosswords. As Will Shortz says at the end of a laudatory foreword, "the future of crosswords is in good hands." :D
