April 08, 2008: I like this story. The theme is a good message to children to try new foods, even if they don't think they like more than one thing that is offered to them. Also, I like the mother's and father's decision to only give Frances what she thinks she likes best for every meal. Eventually, the little badger sees that getting what she wants isn't always the best thing for her. Also of quality are the illustrations and the story telling. For example, the badger experiences life as a human being. The use of personification and the animals' lives makes the story interesting to children. Frances is a badger whose voice and errors in judgement will go to your children's hearts. This is a good book for your library. I recommend this book to picky eaters.

March 09, 2005: I loved this book so much as a child! I still have the fondest memories of it, and so am happy to fork out the 17 bucks to share this gem with my daughter. However, the version I had as a child came with one of those 'pull-out' records, the kind that looked like it was a page in the book, but then you could tear it out and it was a record. I loved the way they sang the songs most of all, and I wish I could find a version of the book that came with one of those old records...
