Learning Through Literature

Bread and Jam for Francis
by Russell Hoban

Frances, one of children's best-loved characters for over 30 years, now springs to life even more in Bread and Jam for Frances, beautifully re-illustrated in sparkling full color by Lillian Hoban. In this memorable story, Frances decides that bread and jam are all she wants to eat, and her understanding parents grant her wish at breakfast, lunch, dinner, and even snack time. Can there ever be too much bread and jam?

This is a really good book if your child is a picky eater! It leads into a great discussion of how we should always try new food because we never know what we will like. Plus eating the same things is just boring!
