Baby Sister for Frances

With a new baby sister in the house Frances is feeling quite forgotten.

So Frances decides to run away, and she does–but not too far. Full of warmth and family love, this very lightly abridged new edition of Russell and Lillian Hoban’s beloved classic is perfect for beginning readers.
