A Baby Sister for Frances Book and Tape

When I was little, I used to love the Frances books. This is easily one of the best ones. In it, Frances has to deal with the fact that her mother and father are often too busy with Gloria the new baby, to speak to her at the moment. Frances just can't stand being ignored, so she tries all kinds of things. Finally, after there are no raisins for her oatmeal, and her mother didn't have a chance to iron her favorite dress, Frances decides to run away to the dining room. So she packs up her knapsack, and runs away to the dining room table with a box of prunes and five chocolate sandwich cookies. But after her food supply is exhausted, Frances realizes that you can't run away from your troubles! And so she runs back to her mother and father. But I really loved her marching song, which I used to annoy my parents with.

I loved all the Frances books. I'm an older sister and I recall reading the Frances books to my two younger sisters. I now have a niece and I thought of these books instantly. She has a new baby sister and I think this books is quite appropriate. She will love all the made up songs. To this day my younger sister and I recall that Frances was a badger!!!
