How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

5.0 out of 5 starsFunny Bananas Apply Here!
Reviewed in the United States on April 17, 2020
This is a great storybook/cookbook because it is so very funny. The illustrations are hilarious. I highly recommend this wonderful book. There is a website for free books.
When bananas are young they are green and firm. When we bring them home, they are starting to turn yellow. Suddenly they're a bad influence on other fruit- hanging out in pear lots on corners or in dimly lit lunch boxes. They start to smell and attract the wrong crowd. Who is the wrong crowd? What else do they do as they will?

3.0 out of 5 starsWhen Bananas Go Bad
Reviewed in the United States on September 25, 2019
Bad Bananas: A Story Cookbook for Kids is exactly that, a picture book fictional story, with random recipes appearing on the same page as the story every now and then. The recipes appear on a white screen background in more easy to read font after the book has finished. Basically the story is about bananas fro their green stage, to their end brown stage if they are not consumed. They become more bad personality wise as they transition and negatively affect other fruit around them. The story wasn't as funny as I had anticipated. The book isn't formatted to take up the whole screen either, which is a bit of a shame, it isn't consistent in how much of the screen it takes up either with each page. The text does appears on top of the illustration like a physical picture book page though.

I am sorry to admit that I have tossed out "bad" bananas. This amusing book showed me not to judge too hastily. Even the most over ripened, when mixed with other ingredients, can be quite tasty. However, when a banana is left and forgotten in a corner of the counter, and leaks into a puddle....well that is just nasty. But, my bad I guess. Each page is filled with amusing illustrations depicting bananas at each stage of their lives.
This is a fun read for kids and banana lovers.

Sent this to my grandson who is always on the go but he really liked the book. Liked the way they even had recipes for those "bad" bananas. It's fun and great for either girls or boys.

I smiled through every page of this delightful bad bananas book. While those bananas may cause a little mischief, it’s great to know they can still be good in the end. :) Loved this cute children’s book.

Terrible racist book. All the bad bananas are stereotypical people of color. I did not give this book to my multiracial grandson and just threw it away.

Great book. It teaches a life lesson that is easily understood by children. It caught my grandson's attention immediately. It is carefully written and the story would appeal to young boys and girls alike. It is also beautifully illustrated. I would recommend it for any child.
