Synopsis

Can there be too much bread and jam? Readers and pre-readers, in groups or independently, will find even more to love about the unstoppable Frances in this oversized edition as the book "gently, amusingly, most effectively" (Booklist) makes its point. Full color. For the first time ever, this classic story is available in the I Can Read! format. With gently abridged text and beautiful full-color art, this edition introduces a new generation of beginning readers to the lovable, irrepressible badger, Frances. Frances is a fussy eater. In fact, the only thing she likes is bread and jam. She won't touch her squishy soft-boiled egg. She trades away her chicken-salad sandwich at lunch. She turns up her nose at boring veal cutlets. Unless Mother can come up with a plan, Frances just might go on eating bread and jam forever!
