The Banana Bunch and the Magic Show (I Can Read Chapters)

A Whole Bunch of Fun!

No capes or superpowers, nothing supernatural—just all the everyday-wonderful, so called ordinary stuff of growing up. This is what kids will find in the adventures of six kids and one dog, who are the Banana Bunch.

There are picnics, games of SPUD and hide-and-go-seek, and a race to catch up with the ice cream truck... but when the bunch decides that their club treasury needs a little fattening up—presto!—it’s time for The Magic Show. They gather props, practice card and coin tricks, and perfect their mind-reading skills. But can they really make Scruffy vanish into thin air?
