About this title

From the Inside Flap:

It's the question on everyone's mid: just why did the banana split?

Here's a clue: it's for the same reason that

the jump ropes skipped town,

the jackhammers hit the road,

and the cows moooved on.

And it's got nothing to do with ice cream.

Give up? Then grab you best puns and get ready to enter Rick Walton's latest word-play adventure. You'll discover so many ways to split, exit, vamoose, disappear, skedaddle, scram--well, go--that you just might wish you could stay longer.

Rick Walton in the author of Once There Was a Bull . . . frog, You Don't Always Get What You Hope For, and Pig, Pigger, Piggest (also illustrated by Jimmy Holder), all, as it happens, from Gibbs Smith, Publisher.
