Book Overview
Anna Banana is fearless. She swings high in the playground, invents stories about huge, terrifying goblins -- and believes in magic. The small boy she plays with is afraid. He would never do the things that Anna Banana does, even when they're together. But one day, when he's most scared, he uses a little bit of her magic -- and makes some of this own. This warm, funny story about a feisty little girl and her timid playmate is sure to touch the youngest reader.

Imaginary friend?
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I think this is a wonderful story. It seems like Anna Banana is the boy's imaginary friend. She is brave and adventurous like he would like to be and she disappears. Note how the book never states that Anna goes anywhere or comes from anywhere. She just is there and then she's gone. This boy imagines a brave friend and uses her as a model to become brave himself.
Nice children's book

The Perfect Book for Your Shy Guy...or Girl

This magical little book teaches about the courage waiting within a shy little boy. It is a lovely story of an unlikely friendship. It is my son's favorite book and I credit it for helping him do many a brave thing.
my favorite children's book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I adore this book. With wonderfully subtle grace, the author teaches about friendship and, more importantly, the personality differences of friends -without judgement. The free spirited child is admired but the shy, timid child also prevails. An exceptional choice for a "second child" who may be overshadowed by the "perfect" sibling.
