    [synopsis] => "Deliciously playful and imaginative."-Kirkus
	Benny loves bananas. He eats them morning, noon, and night. He even rides a bike with a yellow banana seat. In fact, Benny has a secret, he hopes one day he will turn into a banana! And if there is one thing Benny knows, it's that with a little imagination anything is possible. 
	"An engaging and endearing story about a boy who loves bananas and dinosaurs so much that one day using his imagination he turns into a bananasaurus! Through the story, we see Benny's supportive family, their love and respect for his creativity and the powerful role language plays in connecting people."-Toronto Star
	"The book's silliness is its strength; it will certainly reach imaginative little readers who might themselves be obsessed with a particular creature, costume, or food...Deliciously playful and imaginative."-Kirkus
	"Youngsters will enjoy having this book read to them. Teachers/caregivers can use this book with discussions about different types of families."-CM: Canadian Review of Materials "This entertaining, tongue-in-cheek story about a child's obsession and the power of imagination is the second picture book by Inuk author Sarabeth Holden. Toronto-based illustrator Emma Pedersen clearly has a field day bringing the story to life, switching back and forth between cute little Benny-boy and his huge scary dinosaur persona, as she seamlessly mixes ordinary family-life and effervescent imagination. A fun read for all ages published by Inuit-owned Inhabit Media, who are committed to promoting fascinating Inuit stories both traditional and new." - The White Ravens A funny and relatable story of a little boy who can be anything he wants to be (whether it's a dinosaur, or a banana, or both!) with a big imagination and a bit of help from his anaana. If Benny eats too many bananas, he might turn into a Banasaurus Rex-challenge accepted!
