My Review

 

Bob the Banana Goes Bad Offers Fun Wordplay and Cute Characters.  The authors give readers fun puns and play on words that bring some smiles and giggles as the characters unite to help boost Bob's spirits as he fears "going bad" before he is chosen from the fridge.  They bring a colorful assortment of fruits, veggies, and kitchen staples together for a fun story with a background lesson for little readers. 

 

Simple Story with Simple Illustrations for Little Readers. The wordplay and text are simple and easy to understand--and the illustrations are fun and colorful while adding to the dialogue and storyline. Preschool-aged children will enjoy the story. 

 

Would I Recommend Bob the Banana Goes Bad?  This story is a cute children's book for families that love simple, entertaining stories with puns and light wordplay. I would recommend it to families and caregivers with young preschool-aged readers.

Meet the Authors

Steve Petzinger first created the concept for Bob the Banana when he was just twelve years old. His mother kept the original version, and over the years, his family urged him to publish it. In 2020, he decided to finally take their advice.


 Petzinger sought help from his close friend, Selia Akbar-Hussain, who has been teaching preschool for eight years. She has read hundreds of children’s books and is knowledgeable about children’s books content. After months of hard work, their dreams of publishing a children's book came true.
