Beschreibung des Verlags
Anna Banana can't settle down tonight, even though her stuffed animal friends are tired and just want to sleep. They suffer through delay after delay and excuse after excuse, until Anna Banana is finally sleepy. And then . . . it's time for their revenge! Anna Banana is about to get a taste of her own medicine.
Anna Banana is a fantastic character—a lively little girl and a fearsome tyrant to her stuffed animal pals. The first of two picture books featuring this character, Dominique Roques and Alexis Dormal's Sleep Tight, Anna Banana! is sure to be a hit with the youngest of readers . . . and with their parents!
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Tucked contentedly into bed with her book and surrounded by half a dozen stuffed animals, Anna Banana may look like a mild-mannered sweetheart, but that's not entirely the case. Just ask those stuffed animals. "Anna Banana! We're sleepy!" protests teddy bear Grizzler. "Well, just close your eyes!" she responds. One by one, the animals try to find somewhere dark and not punctuated by Anna's loud laughter to sleep, but she's not letting anyone leave. "Anna likes to have ALL her stuffed animals around her," writes French author Roques as Dormal shows Anna snagging Foxface by his tail and yanking Fuzzball away from the lamp he tries to turn off. Eventually, Anna gets tired, and that's when her now-surly toys decide to teach her a lesson that boils down to "turnabout is fair play" accordions, couples dancing, and footraces all factor in. It's a fairly straightforward story about being considerate of others (even if they're filled with stuffing), but the mischievous physical comedy that Dormal brings to his loosely scrawled cartoons keeps it from ever feeling didactic or dull. Ages 3 7.
