Frankly, Frannie by A.J. Stern

4.0

A.J. Stern's Frannie isn't a fan of her name, it just sounds too much like another word for your bottom. But she doesn't let that hold her back from her big dreams. Frankly (the most recent new name she's chosen for herself) loves offices, briefcases, business cards, and anything she perceives to be grown-up. In her efforts to be adult, Frankly, Frannie sometimes really misses the mark. After creating a town disaster, Frannie must swallow her "prideity" and behaving in a way that is truly mature and very difficult; admitting when you are wrong or behaved badly and making amends.

Frannie's adventures would make for fun read-alouds with parent and child together, as there are definitely layers to the humorous situations. Frannie's mishaps and misunderstandings are almost Amelia Bedelia-esque in her levels of folly and ensure some laughs.
