Look out! Shana Banana is making "Banana Bread" with PBS.
Shana Banana has just completed season one of Banana Bread, her new TV show on PBS for kids. She leads a cast of four children, costumed character Snickles B. Bear (and his superhero alter-ego, Super B. Bigley), costumed character Bull E., and dog puppets Hal and Henson as they make banana bread. On each of 13 episodes, the banana bread is made the same way (flour, sugar, eggs, oil, and mashed bananas), but the bread represents a different theme each time, with its own metaphorical ingredients. Using a creative combination of fun, interactive songs, problem-solving with the puppets and characters, a superhero who always comes to the rescue, and cooking yummy bread, viewers are made to feel like a part of the show while they dance, sing and learn. |

My children have always adored your performances and I mentioned your name to Pat Mason, who is organizing First Night. She thought that you could be a fabulous option I told her my husband and I had talked about how you surely have become big time famous by now with all of your talent!!! --Lynn Gilliland, Christ United Methodist Church, St. Petersburg. I want to thank you for the wonderful program you presented. I was totally impressed with your energy, style, and focus. I took notes the entire time and I will be using your techniques and concepts in my classes. I was deeply touched when I saw you posing with the children for pictures following the program. That was so important to the children, they will remember you because you took the time to make each one of them feel important. --Paul Morrell, PreK Teacher, Pensacola |
