Frankly, Frannie: Check, Please!

(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Doreen Mulryan Marts. In her third story, Frannie convinces the town that the new fancy French restaurant is serving bugs (they're actually escargot). In the process, she meets a food critic and writes a couple of her own reviews, one pre-bug-fiasco, one (retraction) after tasting the snails. Frannie (and Junie B.) fans may giggle at her made-up words and malapropisms; others will find them annoyingly cutesy.
