The Frances Series

Russell Hoban 6-10 years 3-5 years	A Bargain for Frances recorded book B&N	In this book, Frances's friend Thelma tricks her into buying Thelma's plastic tea set, when what Frances wants is a china one. Then Thelma uses Frances's money to buy herself a china one. The recorded book comes with a copy of the paperback as well. Our recording included a chime at the end of each page to help a beginning reader keep up with the reader. Frances is quite imaginative in how she gets the china one for herself. A good book to use to discuss friendship.
