In the picture book Second Banana, a girl is disappointed with her rotten role in the school play-but the show must go on.The kids in Mrs. Millets class are putting on their annual nutrition pageant. Every kid plays a food. Every kid gets a line. It is a big deal. But this year, there arent quite enough parts for everybody. So the class is cast: Fish, Cheese, Broccoli, Blueberry, Banana, and . . . Second Banana. Second Banana feels rotten. She wants to be the ONLY banana!In this deliciously original school story, author Blair Thornburgh and illustrator Kate Berube recognize the dreadful disappointment that a casting list can cause-as well as the power of friendship, creative thinking, and a good attitude to turn a rotten situation into one thats quite ap-peel-ing. Showtime!Thornburghs school story about making the best of a less-than-optimal situation and showing kindness and empathy for a new friend will ap-peel (sorry) to young readers and listeners, who will easily identify. -Kirkus Reviews
