Bread and Jam for Frances (I Can Read Level 2)

Product Information

Her family continue to eat delicious wonderful meals and help her to understand she has other options.

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! That well-loved class of first-graders is delightful in another adventure, this one starring George. I'm going to guess it was probably my sister's first and handed down to me - perhaps it was a Scholastic book?The husband and wife team wrote and illustrated many books together, many of which rank among my favorite picture books and one of which was the source of a long-standing family joke, but I’ll be reviewing that one on another day, so I won’t spoil the story here. Especially the section where Frances’s friend Albert unpacks his elaborate lunch at his school desk and eats every part of it with great relish.

It covers questions of community, relationships, the self, conceptions of the environment, and ethics.

Maybe in the future we can do follow-ups with experts, and I could tap you to talk with us more about that. and the now familiar rite of childhood trope of picky eaters, and rather think about this book as a long, free verse poem.
