The Boy Who Loved Bananas

(4) K-3 Illustrated by Andrej Krystoforski. Matthew is so smitten with the monkeys at the zoo that he begins an all-banana diet, which makes his dream come true: he eventually becomes a monkey. But on Matthew's next zoo trip, he is impressed by an elephant.... The story is overly familiar, but the gag-filled art (e.g., monkey Matthew out-yogas his yoga instructor) makes it work.
