The next day when the bell rang for lunch, Albert said, "What do you have today?" "Well," said Frances, laying a paper doily on her desk and setting a tiny vase of violets in the middle of it, "let me see." She arranged her lunch on the doily. "I have a thermos bottle with cream of tomato soup," she said. "And a lobster-salad sandwich on thin slices of white bread. I have celery, carrot sticks, and black olives, and a little cardboard shaker of salt for the celery. And two plums and a tinyOne of the most perfectly written picture books - perhaps one of the most perfectly written books ever. Every single word is meticulously chosen, carefully placed on the page, like an artist painting a masterpiece. Wipe away the familiar story for a moment, the (just right) illustrations of badgers (?), and the now familiar rite of childhood trope of picky eaters, and rather think about this book as a long, free verse poem. It's a rich, lush, descriptive book that aches to be read aloud, not
Bonus star because I started to read Albert's lunch to my 23 yo son and he said "oh I remember those books... I loved them!" The thing is, I don't even remember reading them to him, or him bringing them home from school. Heck, I don't even remember this particular story very well. (The only thing that I for sure remember is that this is where I learned that 'Frances' can be a girl's name... though it took me a few more years before I noticed the spelling difference from 'Francis.')Oh those
A favorite from my childhood
Recommend for Foundation and Key Stage 1. Great use of song and rhyme, accompanied by beautiful illustrations. This book could be a great resource in helping children (maybe fussy eaters) understand that sometimes trying new foods is exciting and sometimes having the same things can be fun. Could link well to considering what a healthy diet consists of.
A fussy eater. I have one of those. Maybe two... sometimes three. So, even though this was part of of 1st grader's literature curriculum it was helpful in dealing with my four year old's food issues... especially eggs! How appropriate indeed! I may have to try the tactics employed here. ha!Some of the words were a bit more challenging for my 1st grader but she persevered and read what I asked her to read. It's longer so I don't expect her to read all of it but she is able to decode most words.
I am counting this towards my book total for 2019 because I have reread it so many times in the last month that it probably is equivalent to a mid-size novel at this point. Also, Frances's parents speak to me on a profound level.
