About this deal

They have their own copy on the bookshelf which they gravitate to as they can also read it themselves as it only consists of one word. But e verything is in short supply in London and no one’s even seen a banana for years, so how is Susan going to find one? The festive season is upon us, bringing joy, festivities, and a well-deserved break from the rigours of academic life. The author was right to end the story before completing the narrative arc, leaving the reader to imagine the true ending for his deftly crafted characters: eventual death by starvation. Yoshimoto’s novels rely less on the vicissitudes of plot than profound shifts deep within her characters: what unfolds isn’t so much a series of suspenseful events as a growing understanding of human lives [.

I found the marketing history of bananas in the US fascinating, especially how it influenced the way we eat and think about bananas today. For those considering Oxford and Cambridge, the prospect is especially thrilling, but it's crucial to get a taste of what these prestigious institutions are really like. In banana [ ], Hlava Ceballos exacts these poems with such caring precision, fully resonant, lit by earth and sky.Tell me about a banana…’ provides you with up-to-date information, interview questions, answers and advice to help you answer all these questions and more. With its gruff hero, vibrant, strong colours, bold design and spare text, this story about looking beyond appearances has a satisfying punchy simplicity and jazzy feel. Charlie tricks his younger sister, Lola - an extremely fussy eater - into eating all her least favourite foods. And since a century of doing things this way hasn't taught banana companies any lessons, they continue to work this way: plant crops until Panama disease or another rot infects that soil, and then move to yet another razed section of land. This hand goes behind the child's back and the rhyme restarts, continuing until only one fist remains.

Koeppel relates the long history of the banana, starting with the very probable idea that the original fruit in the Garden of Eden would have been a banana, not an apple. But Koeppel's "Banana" doesn't claim to be an in-depth history of the corrupt fruit companies and their relationships with violent regimes, nor does it claim to be a storybook. If you are applying to Oxford or Cambridge, there are many somewhat daunting questions you may be asking yourself.This brilliant and hilarious picture book from award-winning illustrator Yasmeen Ismail will have everyone laughing at this all-too familiar family situation!

Tom's scrapbooks are always fascinating, full of photographs, notes and snippets of history that inspire his books, and this one is no different!

I wont say, "do not read this book," but I will say, "do not read this book unless you are terribly interested in bananas and/or horticulture. Most bananas Western cultures eat today are yellow, sweet, ripen at a consistent rate, don't bruise easily. The lack of text really opens the accessibility for all, however, the message of social exchanges, feelings and appropriate reactions could really open up the learning of pupils.
