Book description
Browse 2 titles in The Banana Bunch series
In this Banana Bunch installation, the club-buddies play hide-and-go-seek, share a
picnic, come up with a secret club password, and decide to raise some revenue by
putting on a magic show. At 50-cents per ticket, they know that their acts better be
good! Mindreading Molly and coin and card tricks all lead up to the finale featuring a
disappearing Scruffy (the club\'s dog-member). Though Scruffy explains how his trick
was done, since he can only bark, it remains mysterious! Suggestions for a couple of
magic-related activities cap off the book.
Contemporary/classic: Nothing supernatural, no super powers--the characters and stories
reflect the stuff of real kids and actual childhood experiences. Any kid will be able to
imagine him/herself as being part of this Bunch.
Classic style: The Banana Bunch uses a traditional, third-person mix of narration and
dialogue. Other titles in Jump-Into-Chapters use all-dialogue and/or comics-style narration.
Engaging and easy-to-read: A spare text pairs with relatable kid-characters that are at the
perfect level of complexity for new readers.
Taps into a growing trend of longer page count/lower word count early readers.
A little extra: Each BB book ends with an activity suggestion related to that title\'s story or theme.
Next! In Spring 2015 the Bunch returns with a trip to the beach and a rockin\' snowball fight.
Series Overview: The Banana Bunch books are part of Blue Apple\'s Jump-Into-Chapters series.
These character-driven stories entertain, empower, and increase the reading proficiency of kids who want to tackle a long, \"big kid\" book, but aren\'t quite ready for text-heavy readin
