 | Great beginning reader Apr 14, 2008 |
Frances wants a new china tea set, but her friend convinces her to buy a plastic red one. Will they stay friends?
The writing is easy and pleasant. I highly recommend this book for first and second graders who are just beginning to read books. | | |  | Still a Pleasure to Read Jan 3, 2008 |
| A Bargain for Frances was one of my daughter's favorite books as a child. She asked me to buy it for my 3 year old granddaughter, and it was just as cute and entertaining as ever. It has a good lesson hidden in with the pleasure, too, and small children will love the badger theme. | | | | Couldn't stop laughing Aug 24, 2007 |
... at poor Thelma, when she realized that Frances had turned the tables. I read the Frances books when I was young and was delighted to rediscover them for/with my own children. My kids have a strong sense of fair play (don't most?) and they loved to see Frances outwit her sometime friend. Of course I did remind them that deception may not be the best solution for this kind of problem, but the poetic justice was hilarious to behold. And I appreciate that they found a solution themselves, and amicably at that, without needing to haul in parents or counselors or the police.
On a sadder note, the illustration in my copy doesn't seem quite up to par with some of the other Frances books. Frances looks almost cold, she's missing so much fur. That provided a little lesson for the kids too... "How would you improve this picture? What did you like better about the other pictures?" | | | | Great book Aug 8, 2007 |
| I remember my mom reading this to my sister and I when we were young. It's so cute. I love the illustrations being in black and white, and the ambiguity of Frances' species. It's a great story about envy over another person's things and about cheating your friends. I've kept the image of the little tea set in my mind for almost 30 years. I'm so glad I found this book again and hope your kids find it as special as I do. The other Frances books are a treasure as well. -M. Farrell | | | | The fine art of problem solving Dec 23, 2006 |
What does a child do when a friend plays a selfish trick against her (or him for that matter)?
What kind of role models do children have today for the kind of problem solving in this classic?
As timeless as a fable, this book was published in 1970. Frances takes a pro-active role to deal with a friend who trys to take advantage of her. In addition, they remain friends but on a more equal basis. The art work and humor add to the enjoyment of learning a valuable lesson.
I suggest reading this and discussing real experiences and successful or unsuccessful attempts at solutions. This 64 page book is also available in Spanish. ISBN: 0060887036
