Description

"Adorable ... spectacular ... funny" Guardian on Daisy Hirst's books

If you saw a hole in the ground and a banana popped out of it, would you go in and explore?

A quirky, fun, and surreal picture book about the tricky business of sharing, surprising new friendships, and snacks for all curious little adventurers, from the creator of the internationally successful Natalie & Alphonse series.

Betsy and Philippa are out on a walk when Betsy points to the ground. "There is not usually a hole."

Then something comes out of the hole. It is a banana.

Next, Philippa disappears down the hole – so Betsy has to go and find her!
