Big Nate’s ego vastly outstrips his abilities, as usual, in the latest collection of his exploits, 'Big Nate Goes Bananas!' (Andrews McMeel Publishing). The stories have a vibe similar to the Wimpy Kid books but are told as four-panel gag strips with short simple storylines (Nate enters a mascot design contest, Nate’s friends find out about his aversion to ripe bananas) with plenty of goofy, LOL humor. (Ages 7-12, $9.99)
