Pete the Cat loves bananas, but after he eats one that's too old, he refuses to touch them again. Out of desperation, his mother makes him banana bread, a banana cream pie, and a banana split -- all in vain. And then Pete has a big race, and he discovers the perfect pre-run food. Suddenly he's "banana for bananas" all over again.
This is a cute premise, and I have tried to love this book, but I just cannot get invested in the story. Is it a book about the importance of enjoying bananas? Because that does seem to be the theme, but is it really such a big deal if a kid doesn't like bananas? Or is it about overcoming food aversions? If so, it's not exactly helpful. My overall impression: Meh.
