The Brief: write a four page spread for a child's picture book.

Banana and Elephant went to the park one day,

To enjoy the sunshine and have some play.

They came across a big concrete bowl in the ground

And on the top was a plank with wheels round and round.

Banana jumped on the plank - and whizzed across the bowl.

He zoomed up the side; he was in perfect control.

It’s tremendous fun - why don’t you have a go?”

Elephant hrumphed down his trunk. He wanted to do it also.

So, Elephant tried to get on the board,

But there was only room for two of his feet and not all four.

Then he thought of the humans he’d seen at the zoo

And reared up in the air so he was standing on two.

Elephant sped down the bowl at a tremendous rate.

‘How do I steer,’ he trumpeted, though it really was too late.

He came off the board with a terrible crump!

And came back to earth with a sickening bump!!

Elephant looked to see what Banana thought of his fall

But Banana could not be seen, not anywhere at all.

Underneath his body Elephant felt something rather soggy.

Oh dear, Banana’s skin was now a full three feet from his body.

Elephant then thought, “I’m afraid there’s nothing for it

Because no one can ever unmake a banana split”.

So, he eat the banana and was then heard to remark:

“A banana skin can cause a nasty accident in a skateboard park.”
