Have you ever fallen? Have you ever taken a tumble? Feeling confused? Or bruised? Just call out to our friends, your banana friends!

Go Bananas is a must have for every parent and teacher who has little ones needing a “shout out” of love and fun in their young lives. The wording and illustrations of this picture book are spot on.  As a teacher and a parent, I imagine this book will be read and loved by many.  With bold colors and perfect facial expressions, Watkins is superb! A.B. Peele writes the perfect children’s book that is fun and interactive.  This book can be used in a unit on emotions and on motion/ physical exercise.
