In The Red and Black and Purple Banana-Pineapple Shirt, brothers Jim and Jake are nothing alike, but both brothers love a good joke! When Jake comes across "the ugliest shirt in the world" and decides to send it to Jim for his birthday, he launches a silly competition that grows more ridiculous each year, as the brothers send the hideous shirt back and forth between them, in ever-more-outrageous attempts to one up each other. Finally, one brother learns his lesson. Or does he...? This whimsical, thought-provoking tale is for "children" of all ages and readers.
