Why the Banana Split

Why the Banana SplitIt's the question on everyone's mind: 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 mooooved on. And it's got nothing to do with ice cream. Give up? Then grab your 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 is 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, PublisherRick Walton is the author, the writer, the creator of over thirty books for kids. He, his wife, Ann, and their four children love to travel. They're happy in their home in Provo, Utah, where Rex is welcome anytime, but whenever they can, they take off for Hawaii, head back east, hit the road for Yellowstone, or run off to Disneyland. They also love to eat bananas. Jimmy Holder lives in Los Angeles with his wife, Suzanne, and two-year-old daughter, Madeleine, where he illustrates lots of things, including this second book for Rick Walton. In his spare time, Jimmy likes to chase a squealing Madeleine around the house. They split a banana every morning for breakfast.
