K-3I Can Read Book series.
Illustrated by
Lillian Hoban.
The classic story about fussy eater Frances is here presented in easy reader format. The abridged text and modified design, including "recolored" illustrations, don't stand up to the original picture book version, but developing readers will have a sense of pride in being able to get through such an engaging story that's so clearly meant for them.
