"An engaging and endearing story about a boy who loves bananas and dinosaurs so much that one day using his imagination he turns into a bananasaurus! Through the story, we see Benny's supportive family, their love and respect for his creativity and the powerful role language plays in connecting people."--Toronto Star "The book's silliness is its strength; it will certainly reach imaginative little readers who might themselves be obsessed with a particular creature, costume, or food.Deliciously playful and imaginative."--Kirkus "This entertaining, tongue-in-cheek story about a child's obsession and the power of imagination is the second picture book by Inuk author Sarabeth Holden. Toronto-based illustrator Emma Pedersen clearly has a field day bringing the story to life, switching back and forth between cute little Benny-boy and his huge scary dinosaur persona, as she seamlessly mixes ordinary family-life and effervescent imagination. A fun read for all ages published by Inuit-owned Inhabit Media, who are committed to promoting fascinating Inuit stories both traditional and new." -- The White Ravens "Youngsters will enjoy having this book read to them. Teachers/caregivers can use this book with discussions about different types of families.
