Would You Like a Banana? cover

Award-winning illustrator Yasmeen Ismail's delightfully funny picture book featuring a very stubborn gorilla will have the whole family laughing!

Gorilla is hungry but there is absolutely no way he’s going to eat a banana. Not even a teeny taste. Not with some bread or standing on his head. Even if you eat one too, which is something you might do.

This brilliant and hilarious picture book from award-winning illustrator Yasmeen Ismail will have everyone laughing at this all-too familiar family situation!

This charming, Dr Seuss-esque book has fun with the time-honoured stategy for getting toddlers to try new foods. * The Financial Times *
From the book’s bright yellow jacket to author Yasmeen Ismail’s bold and funny illustrations, Would You Like a Banana? is vivid and lively. * Northern Echo *
Children’s Book of the Week * Western Daily Press *
Reminiscent of Dr Seuss’ Green Eggs and Ham and Lauren Child’s I Will Not Ever Never Eat a Tomato, Ismail’s take on the fussy eating theme uses a mix of bold, expressive illustration and photography which brings a light, fun energy to what can sometimes be a frustrating experience for parents. * BookTrust *
Little children will giggle at the gorilla pictured with his bum out, while grown ups with foodrejecting offspring should enjoy the drawing of his disgusted face as he rebuffs the snack. -- Imogen Carter * The Observer *
