Look insideBeautiful Bananas
A little girl sets off through the jungle to take a bunch of bananas to her grandad. But on the way she meets lots of hungry animals who love bananas too! Each wild animal swaps a banana for a different delicious jungle treat… but will the little girl get her beautiful bananas back again? This delightful retelling of an East African folk tale is told in a wonderful circular style, encouraging children to follow its evolving pattern and chime in when they guess what happens next. The author, Elizabeth Laird, is a Carnegie Medal shortlisted author and former winner of the Smarties Young Judges prize.
