Bananas In My Ears

Author: Michael Rosen
Illustrator: Quentin Blake
Publisher: Walker

The contents of this book were originally published as four thematic collections, on the topics of breakfast, the seaside, doctors and bedtime. Each follows a similar pattern of rhymes, stories, sayings and anecdotes. Repetition is used to humorous effect, notably in the bickering dialogues between brother and sister Nat and Anna, while words and pictures work together especially effectively in the cartoon style spreads featuring ‘Things We Say’.
