Nanners for Nana

Nanners for Nana is a children's book for ages 2-4. It is written in rhyming poetry.

Yellow is the dominating device.

Nana is at the hospital when the children are born over the years, all with yellow hair.

Their names are Mary Gold, Bee Buddy, Sunshine, and Mac-n-cheese. There are symbols to refer to each child throughout the story.

The kids of various sizes go with Nana on an adventure in her yellow jalopy. There is a sudden delay when an 18 wheeler is stuck in a tunnel that goes under the bay. With nothing to do, Bee Buddy, shouts "Nanner" at a VW beetle on the road behind them. And the game begins! The winner is the one who finds the most yellow cars before arriving at home.

There is a tiger in a yellow cage going to the circus. That counts. Mary yells "nanner" when she sees a yellow kayka on top of a blue car. Nooooooooooooo. That doesn't count.

Mac sees a tan car. Nooooooooooooooooo that's not yellow. The rules become a big to do. Before they know it they are back at home, tumbling out of the jalopy yelling, "I won!"

A few days later, Nana is going to the grocery store and sees four yellow cars calling "nanner,"but there is no uproar. She is alone. Pushing the buggy down the aisle she thinks, "Maybe, just maybe the kids can go for some funa banana split. Everyone is happy with cherries, and ice cream flying out of the jalopy except Mac. He is crying and kicking his feet,D "I want mac-n-cheese!"
