It's Jani's first day at school and she's nervous. Will the other monkeys be friendly? Will they all stare at her because she is in a wheelchair? Thanks to her sense of playfulness, Jani makes friends and has a wonderful first day at school! Green Bananas are easy stories for readers ages four to six, a new level just below Blue Bananas. Each book contains full-color illustrations and three simple stories that are linked together. The use of simple vocabulary and speech bubbles make these the perfect introduction to the Bananas series. As their readings skills grow, children can move from one level to the next and read other exciting stories in the Blue, Red, and Yellow levels.

Kindergarten-Grade 2—These beginning readers, each with three short chapters, highlight familiar situations: the first day in a new school, bedtime fears, and conflicts with a friend. School features a monkey in a wheelchair and her classmates, while Bed and Diggers have children and their family members as characters. Teachers will appreciate the multisyllabic word choices in these books, but at times the language may be above the level of the intended audience. The books also contain dialogue bubbles. Each title includes some descriptive words that may help young readers develop a larger vocabulary when the books are read aloud. The colorful illustrations, which differ in style, add humor.
