A Bargain for Frances
by Russell Hoban

I absolutely love this little badger! Russell Hoban's charming stories about Frances capture life from a child's perspective. Phrases like "No backsies" and "Do you want to be careful, or do you want to be friends?" are just examples of the clever dialogue that occurs between Frances and her friends and family. Frances is cheeky, but not in an annoying way. Her curiosity and persistence are believable, and wildly entertaining!
My other favorite Frances books include:
Bread and Jam for Frances and Bedtime for Frances
