Monkeys love bananas but there's bound to be trouble when one monkey has a banana and another hasn't. When one is an older monkey and the other not yet out of the proverbial short trousers it's an opportunity for Senior to show the way that things should be done. Junior begins with a joyful shout as he spots the fruit and then looks bewildered when it isn't immediately handed over. Most parents will realise that what's coming next is the full screaming-on-the-supermarket-floor tantrum, so bad that you can't even look. It's not until they calm down (even though there are tears running down their faces) that you can put a hand to your ear the better to hear that magic word which could have saved all the trouble.
Before I finish I'd just like to be certain that we all know the magic word. Is it a) Abracadabra?! b) Alakazam?! or c)NOW?! as Mr Vere suggests on the back cover? Answers on a postcard please...
