Just a Banana -- Barney Saltzberg

<b>The banana--age-old comedy gold! For silly kids who love to laugh and stretch their imaginations in creative ways, it's the newest offering from the bestselling author of <i>Beautiful Oops!</i> Includes 10 lift-the-flaps.</b> <p/> It's just a banana...or is it? There's nothing to see here--until you lift the flap to find that what at first looks like <i>just</i> a banana is actually a curious lizard, or a boat out at sea, or the horn of a unicorn, or...? <p/> The narrator is on a mission to convince the reader that what they're looking at really is just a banana...or is it? Every page of this book features what appears to be a plain old banana--until the reader lifts the flap to reveal a delightful illustration on every page that transforms the oblong yellow fruit into something new and unexpected. With a few well-placed squiggles, dots, and lines, Saltzberg cleverly reveals a banana turned into a silly smile, a clever mouse, a crescent moon in the night sky, and more! This book allows the reader's imagination to run wild, encouraging kids to look at objects in a whole new way, while the text hilariously insists--it's really (pinky promise!) <i>just</i> a banana!<br><br><b>Author:</b> Barney Saltzberg<br><b>Publisher:</b> Workman Kids<br><b>Published:</b> 04/15/2025<br><b>Pages:</b> 24<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Hardcover<br><b>Size:</b> 7.00h x 7.00w x 0.38d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9781523528837<br><b>Audience:</b> Ages 4-8<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br>Barney Saltzberg is the a
