How fun! Everything goes better when everyone helps. It was hilarious, entertaining and wonderfully illustrated. Loved it!

"You don't whack, you swirl!"

It’s a children’s book in a graphic novel format with 4 panes per page telling the story and the words are all in bubbles. A gang of wiley animals plus Anna Banana are hungry and decide to make the messiest chocolate cake in the world. They all work together and after a few tries they finally have a cake. This was cute.

The kids thought this was hilarious. They both enjoy baking and do so without much mess, but they loved seeing the gang make a huge mess. The niece thought this worth 4 stars and the nephew thought this was a 5 star read. It starts with a penguin and he still loves penguins.

Fun story but the graphic novel format doesn't lend itself well to being used as a read aloud in story time.

When Anna Banana and her stuffed animals decide to work together and bake a cake, things get a little bit out of hand! Chocolate splatters, flour is dumped, and one stuffed animal feels pressured into telling a lie. Can Anna and her stuffed animals find a way to clean up a messy situation and fill their empty stomachs? Find out in Anna Banana and the Chocolate Explosion!

This book is fun. Anna and her furry friends want something sweet to eat, so they all escape to the kitchen. While the main group is making a giant mess, one little bear finishes his cake, and wants to eat it too, but how did he get his cake finished so quickly?

This is my first Anna Banana book, but hopefully not my last. My kids are a bit too old to gravitate toward her books - at 8 and 12 - but both flipped through it and laughed at the illustrations and appreciated unexpected ending.
