Book Thoughts: Bread and Jam for Frances (Hoban)

  • classic and well-loved book part of “Frances the Badger” series
  • a picky eater learns her lesson
  • includes some fun rhymes (songs she sings to herself)
  • brief lying*

Type: picture book
Ages: 3-7
Author: Russell Hoban
Illustrator: Lillian Hoban

*The lying was a familiar lie: when asked what she said (when she indeed had said something), she answered, “Nothing.”

This is one of the better Frances books, in my humble opinion! The parents slyly give their daughter a lesson–and it works!
