From the creators of Counting to Bananas, comes a new, hilarious bedtime ABC book about a Banana who doesn't want to go to bed. Perfect for fans of Jory John and Mo Willems! A is for Awake . . . but B is for Bedtime. When the narrator of this alphabet book tries to make it a bedtime book, Banana objects. Bedtime is BORING! And Banana is the star of this book, so it should really be called B Is for Bananas instead. It shouldn't be about bedtime at all. Journey through all the letters of the alphabet in this laugh-out-loud story from Carrie Tillotson and Estrela Louren o about a banana who is NOT ready to go to bed. The perfect next read for fans of Jory John's the Bad Seed series!
"Exuberant Banana has as much fun taking control of the alphabet as they did taking over counting. Loureno returns with digitally created illustrations full of Bananas bonkers energy and plenty of color. Speech balloons are used throughout as Banana argues with the narrator. Banana might end up tuckered out, but little listeners will probably be supercharged with giggles. An a-peeling alphabet adventure." --Kirkus reviews
Before Carrie Tillotson started writing children's books, she worked as a biostatistician. Her job involved counting a lot of numbers (but not many bananas). She is the author of Counting to Bananas. She lives in Oregon with her family, one dog, and two chickens. Although bananas are not her favourite fruit, she loves a warm slice of banana bread.
