"I love the book because I feel like that rabbit (especially at my age and having been surrounded by and engaged with so many kids who sing Apples and Bananas and get jokes, have a vocabulary, and aren't afraid to make up a poem). I also like it because it gives dignity to those on the "scrapheap." It shows how they weren't always there and that we all one day will be there."
I was actually singing Apples and Bananas to Luka yesterday morning.
His favourite is the "oo" verse.
Ooh look to oot, ooh look to oot, ooh look to oot, ooples and banoonoos...

I've always been a fan of the "eye" verse personally, but "oo" is a close second. Your son has excellent taste. I don't have a baby to sing it to, but I'll often sing it to myself while cooking.
