Bread and jam for Frances

Frances loves nothing better than jam and bread, and turns up her nose at other kinds of food. Then her mother starts giving Frances jam and bread for breakfast, lunch and dinner. ``What I am/is sick of Jam,'' Frances sings to herself. That's the end of Frances's jam-only days, as she discovers, in her own winsome way, that variety really is the spice of mealtimes. (4-8) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved

With infallible comprehension of childish feelings and a nice precision of detail, the Hobans tell what happens when Frances is allowed to try a permissive diet of bread and jam. The original two-color illustrations have been tastefully and attractively 'recolored' so that the book is now illustrated in full color. From HORN BOOK 1993, (c) Copyright 2010.
