Overview

The kids in Mrs. Millet’s class are putting on their annual nutrition pageant. Every kid plays a food. Every kid gets a line. It is a big deal. But this year, there aren’t quite enough parts for everybody. So the class is cast: Fish, Cheese, Broccoli, Blueberry, Banana, and . . . Second Banana. Second Banana feels rotten. She wants to be the ONLY banana! In this deliciously original school story, Blair Thornburgh and Kate Berube recognize the dreadful disappointment that a casting list can cause—as well as the power of friendship, creative thinking, and a good attitude to turn a rotten situation into one that’s quite appeeling. Showtime!

The setup gives Thornburgh endless pun possibilities, and the rest of Berube's costumes. . .delight, too. A funny, gentle nudge in the direction of being a better banana. -- Publishers Weekly


"""An appealing picture book for reading aloud."" -- ""Booklist"" ""Punning aside (it's ""an a-peeling"" part, reports the father), this picture book ticks so many boxes in the realm of social-emotional learning that it will be useful across curricula.""-- ""School Library Journal"" ""The setup gives Thornburgh endless pun possibilities, and the rest of Berube's costumes. . .delight, too. A funny, gentle nudge in the direction of being a better banana.""-- ""Publishers Weekly"" ""Thornburgh's school story about making the best of a less-than-optimal situation and showing kindness and empathy for a new friend will ap-peel (sorry) to young readers and listeners, who will easily identify.""-- ""Kirkus Reviews"""
