Once Upon a Banana

This wordless picture book creates a caught and effect snowball effect that travels around a city block. The only text contained is the signage posted throughout the illustrations. Make sure you begin with the inside cover since the story begins well before the first page, almost like the prequel!

The subliminal comedy of the book is that if everyone followed the directions on the signs, many of the situations probably would not have happened in the first place. If the monkey followed the "Do Not Litter" sign, the banana peel would have made it in the garbage can. Had the bikers parked in a legal space, they would not have slipped on the banana. These scenarios continue as you progress through the book.
