"Adorable ... spectacular ... funny" Guardian on Daisy Hirst's books
If you saw a hole in the ground and a banana popped out of it, would you go in and explore?
A quirky, fun and surreal picture book about the tricky business of sharing, surprising new friendships and snacks for all curious little adventurers, from the creator of the internationally successful Natalie & Alphonse series.
Betsy and Philippa are out on a walk, when Betsy points to the ground. "There is not usually a hole."
Then something comes out of the hole. It is a banana.
Next, Philippa disappears down the hole – so Betsy has to go and find her!
