Bookroo's summary

Brian the piranha loves bananas, but his friends think he's lost it. While they eye a tasty pair of feet, Brian tries to convince them to try his fruity favorites. Can he change their minds, or will they stick to their carnivorous ways? Dive into this hilarious tale of daring to be different and the unexpected surprises that come with it.

From the publisher

Everyone knows that piranhas don’t eat bananas – except for Brian. This little fish loves to munch not only on bananas, but on fruit of all kinds! Brian’s piranha friends think he’s crazy. Piranhas don’t eat bananas – their sharp teeth are for eating meat! And there’s a scrumptious pair of feet dangling in the water nearby…

Rich with author-illustrator Aaron Blabey’s hysterical text and unforgettably wacky illustrations, Piranhas Don’t Eat Bananas is a hilarious story about trying new things – no matter how strange they seem!
