Editorial Reviews

▼▲

Praise for the original picture book edition of Best Friends for Frances: “If the illustrations capture the quality of the ingenious and beguiling heroine, the story captures the very essence of children and their shifting, frankly egocentric, relationships.” - —The Saturday Review

“Scorned by Albert, Frances arranges a very special picnic, which ends with everyone being happy as best friends. This episode contains some choice Frances songs and is marked by the author’s usual deft handling of a real problem of childhood.” - —Childhood Education
