Frances doesn't think her little sister, Gloria, can be her friend. But when Frances's friend Albert has a no-girls baseball game, Frances shows him a thing or two about friendship—and a thing or two about what girls can do. Along the way, Frances discovers that sisters can indeed be friends . . . maybe even best friends.

4.0 out of 5 stars We love Frances., Aug 13 2009
By L. kennedy - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Best Friends For Frances (Paperback)
The Frances books are very popular in our house. She was my favourite as a child so it is very nostalgic for me to share this with my child.

Bedtime for Francis is the best in the series, but Best Friends for Francis is good too. The reading difficulty level is good for new readers, and it has a nice theme about including little sisters and everyone playing together.

We also recommend Bread & Jam for Frances!

5.0 out of 5 stars Our favorite Frances book, Aug 29 2001
By Jens Alfke (San Jose, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Best Friends Frances (Paperback)
My family is fairly unanimous that this is our favorite Frances book (with "A Birthday For Frances" the likely runner up.) Frances both stands up to being excluded and learns not to do the same thing herself; her anger at Albert is realistic and her "revenge" funny but not cruel; and everyone resolves their conflicts in a friendly way. The wording of the exchanges between Frances and Albert is exquisitely well done, I think: Hoban expresses such nuances in language that gets through to even small children. And last but not least, Frances's little songs are always hilarious and this book has some of the best ones of all, which my 2-year-old daughter has learned by heart.

5.0 out of 5 stars A delightful book.
My children, ages 4 and 5, enjoyed hearing the Frances stories. She is very funny and a delightful, precocious character.

5.0 out of 5 stars As a child, the "Frances" books were my absolute favorites.
As a child, the "Frances" books were my absolute favorites. My sister would read them to me when I was too little to read for myself. Read more
