“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!

A 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.

Alas, the curse of the sequel strikes again. Where the first was charm and a simple message, this one felt outlandish and frustrating for too much of it. There were charming and silly moments, but a novella geared to a younger reading audience should never feel like it's dragging, and this one did. There also seemed to be less art than the previous book. I'm always hoping for more Jon Klassen work!

New favourite! A bit more silly, exuberant and emotional than the quaint, queer vibes of classic Frog and Toad tales, but if you are craving more slice of life among anthropomorphized woodland creatures this hits the spot. I really loved the arc for Badger, I think I felt every single emotion with Skunk, and then: CHICKENS! 🥰 The little orange chicken. 😍🥹 The idea of home, of sharing, of appreciation of space, of contributions, of hobbies, 1/?

Robotswithpersonality 2/2 of individual passions. I'm not skilled in determining the age threshold for reader comprehension; this is a 125 page book with a fairly large font and spacing, with a few pictures, but I think the way it tackles the roommate situation is a good lesson for all ages. And yes, of course, Jon Klassen art is pitch perfect. SO, so glad there's a second book! Dare I hope for more? 4mo
