Beatrice sets out though the lush African jungle to visit her beloved granddad. She carries with her a bunch of beautiful bananas as a special gift for him. But her journey is interrupted by a series of mishaps as she encounters friendly but mischievous animals, including a giraffe, a parrot, monkeys...even a swarm of bees. After she loses the bananas, every animal she encounters tries to replace them with something special, but each gift gets lost in turn. Finally a friendly elephant reaches high into the trees. Will Granddaded get his beautiful bananas after all? Laird's clever tale is complemented by illustrator Liz Pinchon's bright, bold images of the African jungle and the colorful and exotic animals that live there.
