Betty has tantrums when things aren't going her way. I get you, Betty. Sometimes I want to have a tantrum too, when someone opens my banana for me. Mostly this book makes me want to sing "Bananas, Unite!" (my favourite storytime song). ( )

This book is HILARIOUS (yes caps lock funny!) Adults will have as much (or more) fun reading this as children will listening. Betty is a Gorilla who has a penchant for throwing tantrums... enter the banana that won't open, and later breaks. LOL. ( )

I suppose I shouldn't find this funny but I think every parent has experienced this with their kids. The major freak out over something they can't do, helping them only for them to freak out because they wanted to do it for themselves.... And then there is that broken banana... Oh, how many times has one of my kids refused to eat it because it's broken.
I'm the toucan... I'm done, I'm outta here, I'm not going through this whole thing AGAIN! (Until the next kid anyway). ( )

Patience is hard, ya'll. Betty wants her banana, she wants it NOW, and she doesn't want any help. Luckily, nice Mr. Toucan was around to help her out. Let's hope she learned her lesson with the first one and doesn't keep up the tantrums when the next banana doesn't do what she wants it to do.

(Of Steven Antony books, Please, Mr. Panda is my FAVORITE. Go find a copy right now! You'll love it!) ( )

Fun story of frustration young children will enjoy very much. ( )
