<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>When a girl who feels rotten about playing Second Banana in the annual food and nutrition pageant learns that the girl playing First Banana has stage fright, she suggests a solution to both problems.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A girl is disappointed with her "rotten" role in the school play--but the show must go on</b> <p/> 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! <br> 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 ap-peel-ing. Showtime! <br><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"An appealing picture book for reading aloud." -- "Booklist"<br><br>"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"<br><br>"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"<br><br>"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"<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Blair Thornburgh</b> is the author of several books for kids and teens.
