Our favorite Frances book,
By
This review is from: Best Friends for Frances (I Can Read Book 2) (Paperback)
My family is fairly unanimous that this is our favorite Frances book (with "A Birthday For Frances" the likely runner up.) Frances both stands up to being excluded and learns not to do the same thing herself; her anger at Albert is realistic and her "revenge" funny but not cruel; and everyone resolves their conflicts in a friendly way. The wording of the exchanges between Frances and Albert is exquisitely well done, I think: Hoban expresses such nuances in language that gets through to even small children. And last but not least, Frances's little songs are always hilarious and this book has some of the best ones of all, which my 2-year-old daughter has learned by heart.

Frances does it again!,
By Emily K. Paster "A mom and lover of children'... (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Best Friends for Frances (I Can Read Book 2) (Paperback)
Another great book from the Frances series by Russell Hoban. In this episode, Frances's friend Albert is not very interested in playing with her, especially because she is a girl, so Frances turns to her sister Gloria for a playmate. When Frances and Gloria plan a "best friends" outing complete with an enormous picnic lunch, Albert reconsiders the wisdom of not being friends with girls. I like this one both for the positive development of the sometimes-difficult relationship between Frances and her little sister Gloria, but also for the portrayal of girls who like to play baseball and catch frogs.

Frances series,
By Breckjo (Northern Michigan United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Best Friends for Frances (I Can Read Book 2) (Paperback)
You can't go wrong with a Russell Hoban Frances book for young children. The text deals with everyday problems small kids face.
