👨👧 For Grown-ups
About the creator
Yaniv Hamudot has been telling Banana-Man stories since 2017, when the first book — The Epic of Banana-Man: The Great Banana Caper — was published. What began as one small hero in a purple cape has grown into three picture books, animated movies, games, songs and this little corner of the internet.
Yaniv writes and builds everything himself, from his home in Los Angeles, where he's known as a friend and a caring neighbor — the kind of person who believes kids' stories should leave children feeling braver, kinder, and a little more giggly than before. Banana-Man's deepest rule comes from Yaniv's own family: if you fall, you get back up — and you help your friends up, too.
What this site is
The official home of The Epic of Banana-Man™: books, movies, free games, printable coloring pages and a printable calendar, learning games, sing-along songs, short stories, a daily joke, and a fully scripted chat with Banana-Man. Everything is made for ages 4–8: big buttons, simple words, no timers, and no fail states — missing is never punished here.
Our safety promises
- No advertising is served to children on this site. (The coloring pages show one 5-second "house card" about Banana-Man's own books before printing — that's ours, not an ad network.)
- No tracking, no analytics, no cookies following your child around. The games and chats run entirely on your device.
- No chats with strangers — ever. "Talk to Banana-Man" and "Pip's Joke Machine" are 100% pre-written scripts. There is no typing box and nothing is sent anywhere.
- No purchases on this site. The books are sold by Amazon, where your existing parental controls apply.
- Voice features are off by default and use your device's built-in speech — no recordings are made or kept.
🍎 Teachers' Corner
Welcome, teachers — Banana-Man loves classrooms! Everything printable on this site is free for classroom use. Print as many as your class needs — that's not a loophole, it's the invitation.
- Coloring pages — 5 free pages now, 32 in the coloring ebook (coming soon to Kindle; buy once, print forever).
- The Fruitville Calendar + Giggles sheet — print the month for your wall, and tear off the second sheet: a kid-safe joke for every school day. A lovely morning-routine laugh before the day begins.
- Story Time stories — five short, printable stories (3 minutes each) written for early readers, with more on the way.
- Fruitville School games — colors, counting 1–20, first letters, and shapes, mapped to pre-K–2 practice: color recognition, number sense, letter sounds, shape recognition — plus calendar skills and a feelings-and-kindness chat script for social-emotional moments.
- Songs — three original sing-alongs with printable lyric sheets for the wall.
