An overripe banana is sad because all of his friends in his banana bunch have been claimed and eaten. He's getting spots and the kids call him a bad banana. He is so sad until the mom has an idea: banana bread! 

You'd think a banana would not want to be devoured, but the bad banana revels in his unpeeling, mixing and baking. He's happy to be a good banana! 

The facial expressions on the banana are hilarious and capture the banana's moods from sad and depressed to excited, giddy and thrilled. He's not a bad banana after all. 

Sheer fun for ready to read learners. Silly enough to keep kids entertained and may even cause an uptick in the making of banana bread!

Highly recommended ages 2 and up.
