Little Joey And The Black Banana

Volume One of the Mr. Page Classroom Classics is about Little Joey and the food swapping session at school. Little Joey had never shared in the trades before, so Mr. Page was surprised when he walked to the front of the class with his rotted banana. He was so proud of it because his mother had bought it special for him. But when others started giggling and making rude remarks, Joey decided to eat it himself. Amy saw how the remarks had hurt Little Joey?s feelings. She decided to quietly swap her grapes for his banana. What a difference this one small act of kindness made in the feelings of Little Joey. This true story is from the experiences of veteran teacher of 40 years, Earl H. Page.
