Review Detail

BANANAS FOR YOU! is a cute and colorful book about love. The book proposes various scenarios of love metaphors, such as I love you "more than underwear loves butts" or "more than chickens love to dance." Each statement is accompanied with full page, neon color illustrations of the metaphor in action.

What I loved: The neon colors and cute illustrations are sure to appeal to young readers who will love the adorable animals and bright scenes. The word art is large and easy to read, making this an easy one to read aloud. The short sentences combined with the board book format makes this work well for infants through preschoolers. The messages of love and metaphors will make older children giggle and make this a fun pick for a Valentine's day book to share between caregiver and child. The sentences rhyme from page to page, which also makes this roll off the tongue in a fun way.

Final verdict: A silly board book about love, BANANAS FOR YOU! is a rhyming, neon-colored read that will make little ones giggle.
