Review
"Gr. 1-2 Children graduating from episodic easy readers to more extended tales will relish...the Blue Bananas series...Cartoon illustrations, complete with conversation or droll comments in dialogue balloons, capture each tale's level of sophistication. Reinforced hinges and heavy stitching ensure that the hardback books will have a long shelf life--not that they'll stay on the shelves for long."
