A Birthday for Frances by Russell Hoban
3.0
This is probably my least favorite but I always enjoy them, so I can't give it less than three stars because it is funny when she says "Me and Alice are going to have q-p-m and c-r-n" and her mom says "What's q-p-m and c-r-n?" and she replies, "Cake and ice cream, I thought you could spell."
I do like how, at the beginning, she's grumpy because she's not the center of attention and isn't getting the stuff she wants - and then at the end she realizes my turn will come...and little sisters really are good for more than crying. It's sweet. :)
(but...not more than 3 stars sweet.)
