Little Jimmy and the Spoiled Rotten Banana: Proverbial Kids©

By Karen Anderson Holcomb

Little Jimmy and the Spoiled Rotten Banana is the story of a young boy who cries and throws tantrums to get what he wants. When an unwise purchase results in a broken arm, Jimmy’s parents turn to the book of Proverbs for wisdom. They discover that a firm “No” is foundational in parenting. A spoiled banana spurs Jimmy’s decision to grow up. Little Jimmy kicks off the Proverbial Kids series, followed by Captain Curious and the Invisible Boundary Line and Look-at-Me Lucy and the Rearview Mirror.

“Jimmy is cute when he’s little, but as he gets older—not so much.” Katherine, 6
“He acts just like my little brother. Spoiled.” Jeremiah, 8

“… a true winner and a must-read for parents. The value of the word ‘no’ is underrated today and this story is a great reminder to all of the power and value of this simple word.” – Cheryl Markland, Senior Consultant Childhood Evangelism and Discipleship,
Baptist State Convention of North Carolina
