Description:

Poor Sringeri Srinivas! He grows the sweetest, ripest, most delicious bananas in his entire village… but suddenly, nobody — and I mean NOBODY — wants any. Not his family. Not his friends. Not the neighbours. Not even the traders or the cows! "Too sweet! Too many! We just can't eat any more!" everyone says. Whatever will Sringeri do with his enormous pile of unwanted fruit? Determined to find a clever solution, he sets off to the Farmer's Centre in nearby Doddooru… and returns home with a wonderful little secret. Then one day, when the village priest urgently needs 108 bananas for a special pooja, Sringeri's surprise twist is finally revealed! Brought to life through Angie and Upesh's charming illustrations, this delightful Pratham Books Level 2 read-aloud by Rohini Nilekani is a warm, witty story about cleverness, farming and turning problems into possibilities.
