In this little-red-hen-inspired tale, Monkey asks a series of uncooperative animals to help him move piles of bananas to make banana cream pie. Only Aunt Ant returns to help; the others become cooperative once the pies are baked. The homophone and homonym pairs are amusing and will stimulate thoughtful discussions about word meanings. Colorful oil pastels help make the language lesson fun.
