Harry Hooge Elementary teacher-librarian Fiona Bisset recommends Piranhas Don’t Eat Bananas by Aaron Blabey to inspire you to try new things this year.
At the beginning of each year, we talk a lot about New Year’s resolutions and goal setting. Your resolutions may involve trying or doing something new. Piranhas Don’t Eat Bananas is a fun story that’s all about just that.
Brian the Piranha wants to try new foods but his friends think he’s silly. The other piranhas can’t understand why Brian would want to eat a banana – or any vegetables – when there are more delicious foods to eat. Will Brian convince his friends to try just a nibble of something new?
I love this book because its rhyming narrative is engaging and perfect for beginning readers. It’s a funny and “cheeky” take on the importance of taking a chance and trying something new. Aaron Blabey is also the author of the very popular and well-loved Pig the Pug and The Bad Guys series.
Piranhas Don’t Eat Bananas is available in English and French in SD42 libraries and as an ebook on Sora.
