Bread and Jam for Frances
When Father, Mother, and Gloria all eat yummy soft-boiled eggs for breakfast, Frances eats bread and jam. At lunch, Mother packs her a chicken-salad sandwich but Frances trades it for bread and jam. When she refuses to eat anything else, Mother and Father play along. Will Frances ever be ready to try something new?
The classic funny I Can Read story about a stubborn little badger with very particular tastes in food.
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 her parents can come up with a plan, Frances just might go on eating bread and jam forever!
Join the generations of families that have laughed along as Frances sings "Jam on biscuits, jam on bread, Jam is the thing I like most, Jam is sticky, jam is sweet, Jam is tasty, jam’s a treat—raspberry, strawberry, gooseberry, I’m very FOND…OF…JAM!"
Bread and Jam for Frances is a Level Two I Can Read book, geared for kids who read on their own but still need a little help. Whether shared at home or in a classroom, the engaging stories, longer sentences, and language play of Level Two books are proven to help kids take their next steps toward reading success.
Please see our Reading section for leveled reading series such as I Can Read, Step Into Reading, and many more.
Possibly the most loveable badger in children's literature, Frances is somehow funny and opinionated yet naive as she experiences many of the same "bumps in the road" as many young children. You just can't help grinning as Frances runs "away" after the arrival of a baby sister, makes a trade with a crafty friend, and decides that bread and jam make the best meal of all. 32 pgs, pb unless otherwise noted. Please note that A Bargain for Frances is now only available in an "I Can Read" version which is slightly abridged and smaller-format.
