“Big sisters really have to stay, at home and not travel far away“ I like his quote because it shows when Frances finally realized that she should be there for her baby sister.
A Baby Sister for Frances | 
“Big sisters really have to stay, at home and not travel far away“ I like his quote because it shows when Frances finally realized that she should be there for her baby sister.
I would use this book in my classroom to discuss sibling relationships. if I knew a student of mine was having trouble with a younger sibling, I would use this book!
pickA baby sister for Frances by Russell Hoban was published in 1964. This story goes through sibling relationships and how it can be difficult to have a new child brought into the family. When Frances gets a younger sister she begins acting out. Finally by the end of the book she feels closer to her sister. The illustrations are very nice and include a lot of line work.
These are some of my favorite books from my childhood. They‘re a little worse for wear- spines broken and unreadable, dirty pages, but I‘ll never part with them!
Hope all of your readathons are going great! #24in48
I love the Frances books, maybe even more as an adult, now that I can appreciate the charming dedications.
