I was sent this book for review purpose. All opinions stated are my own.
Benji & The 24 Pound Banana Squash is about Benji who plants squash seeds he saved from the summer before in the back of the garden. He carefully waters them, but for awhile, nothing happens. Then suddenly one day, tiny sprouts start pushing through the soil and Benji begins to see his hard work pay off. When the gigantic banana squash is ready to be harvested, Benji's dad weighs the vegetable – twenty-four pounds! – and takes a picture of Benji with it. But the best part comes when Benji's mom cooks the squash with butter and brown sugar, so everyone in the family can gather and enjoy a delicious feast.
The author of this book is Alan C.Fox and the illustrations are by Eefje Kuijl. The author based this book on a real life event that happened to him when he was eight years old. He wanted to inspire children and show them the value of patience and perseverance as well as the pleasures of growing their own fruits and vegetables to share with family and friends.

Especially if you wish to teach your child the importance of patience and achieving great results through hard work and determination, just read "Benji & The 24 Pound Banana Squash" out to them.
