New York Times bestselling character Grumpy Monkey learns the importance of sharing with others in this original board book story that tackles a common toddler issue.

It’s time for lunch, and Jim Panzee has just picked the very last banana on the tree. But then he drops it. When he climbs down to find it, Warthog has already picked up the banana and thinks it belongs to him. “It’s mine!” they both insist. As the two argue, the other animals arrive and soon, no one can agree who the banana belongs to. Until Norman suggests, “What if you share the banana?”

    Talented author-illustrator team Suzanne Lang and Max Lang convey the struggle of learning how to share in this funny board book for toddlers and babies that encourages kindness and generosity.
