About this book
Oh no! Gary the gorilla has run out of bananas and he’s very hungry. Could this be the worst day ever?
Not being prone to panic, Gary trims his toenails, grabs his hat and puts his banana-finding plan into action. Luckily, he spots some bananas almost straight away – but they turn out to be small, slobbery dogs. Then he spies some singing bananas – but he can’t eat those either. In fact, Gary has to go further than he ever imagined before he actually finds what he’s looking for.
An engaging central character, witty text and bold illustrations packed with visual puns will make this comical story an instant favourite. A hilarious final page spread will also delight both children and adults.
