One excited little monkey wants to go on a bear hunt; one careful elephant aunty thinks that’s too scary. So, they set up a banana hunt instead.
How many bananas can little Bernado hide, and what unusual hiding places can he find? Lots is the answer! As Auntie Dot searches for the hidden bananas and gathers them all together, things get stickier and squishier, but when a scary bear arrives, they’re thankful for the bumper hoard.
The setting is a jungle, and the scenes are bright, bold and bursting with life with so much to spot. The text, rhyming of course, is as bouncy as Bernado himself and, an extra treat for readers, there are pink bananas hidden on every page. Go bananas – in a good way!
A joyous read-aloud and laugh-out-loud rhyming romp from perfect pairing, Suzy Senior and Josh Cleland!
Read the full description
Bernardo is on the hunt for some fun. And what could be better than a banana hunt?! Hidden under rocks and tucked in socks, Bernardo stashes bananas everywhere, ready for his Auntie Dot to find. She searches the rainforest high and low for every banana. But before long, they realise that Bernardo has hidden a few too many! After lots of squishy, icky banana chaos, an exhausted Auntie Dot and Bernardo slowly head back. Except what is that up ahead on the track?
Can Bernardo save them from the grizzly bear? Perhaps too many bananas could be helpful after all . . .
Suzy's fun, hilarious story with Josh's bright, expressive illustrations will have all children (and grown-ups) going bananas!
The ideal book to share and laugh together. Perfect for fans of Octopants, When Cucumber Lost His Cool, Oi Frog! and I Really, Really Need a Wee.
