    Bread and Jam for Frances: Book Cover

    Bread and Jam for Frances

    Written by Russell Hoban

    Illustrated by Lillian Hoban

    Ages 5+ | 32 Pages

    Publisher: HarperCollins | ISBN-13: 9780060838003

    What to Expect: Animals and Family

    I know. I know. Grown-ups don’t always prepare the yummiest of foods. But let’s all be honest, Frances, the badger, is a pretty picky eater. I mean, she refuses to eat anything other than bread and jam. She’s pretty lucky, too; her mother keeps giving her what she likes: bread and jam for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. But maybe, just maybe, Frances’s mother has a trick up her sleeve and plans to have her eat a well-balanced meal.

    Young readers will gobble up this story or love having it read aloud to them—either way, it’s deliciously fun. And the classic-style illustrations accompanying the writing on every page are an enjoyable feast for the eyes. Like your kiddo’s favorite food, Bread and Jam for Frances will be an early reader book they’ll want to devour morning, noon, and night.

    Just for fun: Say “pretty picky eater” five times really fast! That’s harder than a soft-boiled egg that Frances says would fall off your spoon.
