Connie's review
Bread And Jam For Frances by Russell Hoban
Frances is a picky eater. She likes bread and jam because it's consistent.
Her parents are understandably upset by this, but they deal with it in the most practical way - they give her exactly enough bread and jam to fill her up for life.
The story is resolved very quickly, after only a day, but satisfyingly. "How do you know what I'll like if you don't even let me try it?" indeed.
