Hi all!
Hope you're well.
Sorry about the quality of this book, my internet has been rather painful, so I couldn't upload the pictures myself!
The book I am sharing today is called Bananas in Pyjamas - Holiday Book written by Katrina Van Gendt, it was first published in 1990 and is an ABC Shop Book. The book tells the stories of the bananas and their friends the teddies (Thomas, Bianca, Takis, Bonita, Becky, Tai, Boris, Theodore, Bruno, Toola, Theresa... and Tinka) as they go camping, to the beach, to the farm and the rain forest. I, like most Aussie kids, loved the original Bananas in Pyjamas when it was on the Aussie ABC channel during the 90s. Now they have a silly CGI version; but anyway!
I loved this little book when I was little, sadly though it started to fall apart, so I had to throw it out. Then a while ago while I was browsing a book exchange (you'll soon discover how much I love book exchanges) I found it and just had to get - At $2 why not?
I've never understood why there are "Beetroots in gumboots" but I suppose the same reason their is "Bananas in Pyjamas!"
And zucchinis in bikinis!
Thank you for reading, have a great day!

I LOVED this book as a kid. I spent hours looking at all the details on every picture. I have an old copy that's falling apart, as my kids love it too. Been looking for one in better condition for 3yrs now! Hard to find ☹️
