Synopses & Reviews
Two monkeys. One banana. What's to be done? Ed Vere's hilariously eye-popping art tells the story of two monkeys learning to share in this stunning, nearly-wordless picture book. One banana. Two monkeys. Perfect!
Review
“With big, bold spreads and only two words ("Banana" and "Please"), Vere's (The Getaway) story about sharing packs impressive graphic force.” -Publishers Weekly
“A lively title to share in a toddler storytime.” -Bulletin of the Center for Childrens Books
“A fun choice for sharing with a group.” -School Library Journal
“Minimalist text gains expression through varied punctuation and typeface, while speech balloons and other comic-book conventions (not to mention one spectacular simian tantrum) evoke a certain pigeon. Bold, expressive colors and exuberant lines characterize the artwork.” -Kirkus Reviews
