Gladys, a purple and blue gorilla, loves bananas for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. But one day she smells something delicious and leaves the zoo to find out what it is. As she follows her nose to a pizzeria, a French café, and an ice-cream stand, she samples various foods, but none of them matches the aroma that made her leave the zoo. Finally, she discovers that it is coming from a cart at the zoo that is selling banana bread. Part of the Sign Language Storytelling Series.
