Benny the bananasaurus rex / by Sarabeth Holden ; illustrated by Emma Pedersen.

Holden, Sarabeth, 1982- (author.). Pedersen, Emma, 1988- (illustrator.).

Summary:

"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. 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."-- Provided by publisher.
