This silly yet sophisticated picture book will make kids AND parents laugh—the perfect story for reading aloud!
For fans of Strictly No Elephants
A child takes a dog for a walk. At least, so the child insists. But nobody else sees a dog! Neighbors try to figure out why a child is walking a banana on a leash, while the child tries to make them understand that the banana is really a dog. A dog named Banana!
But…it can’t be. Can it?
My Dog Banana is a jewel of absurdity that brings to life a diverse group of characters, filled with classic charm and endless humour.
