They can’t just tie a rope around the gorilla’s neck and tug it reminds gorillas of getting tangled up in a bowl of spaghetti! You would think laying a trail of bananas would do the trick but that’s because people don’t realize that gorillas like being in the tub more than they like bananas. Who knew!?!
Curious George and the man with the yellow hat visit the zoo. A hungry Curious George snatches a pail of bananas from the zoo keeper. Though he shouldn't have taken the bananas, George soon changes the zookeeper's shouts to praise with his clever, helpful ways.
A gripping biological detective story that uncovers the myth, mystery, and endangered fate of the world’s most humble fruit To most people, a banana is a banana: a simple yellow fruit.
