Betty, a hungry baby gorilla, wants to eat a banana, but it won't open; a tantrum ensues. A friendly toucan assures her that such strong emotions are not necessary and offers his assistance. Then another banana-centric problem arises... Bright spreads full of action and humor feature bulky Betty and banana-shaped Mr. Toucan, a pair whose dynamic will be familiar to preschoolers and their parents.
