Praise for  An Orange for Frankie "Autobiography melds with history in this poignant tale of a family tradition, set around Christmastime during the Great Depression."-- Booklist "Polacco's watercolor-and-pencil illustrations are well rendered as always and appropriate for this slight but wordy, nostalgic tale."-- School Library Journal "Holiday treats abound in a colorful and touching story of generosity and the ties that bind, based on a story of the author's great-uncle. "-- Publishers Weekly "If you are a Polacco fan then you know that her books reflect a family experience, and that she has a way of tugging at the hearts of her readers. This offering is no different . . . Polacco's loose watercolor and pencil drawings show a familiar cast of characters and readers will feel like they have once again stepping into the lives of this fascinating family of Polacco's."-- Children's Literature "Polacco's illustrations . . . are timeless in their portrayal of a happy family enjoying life together."-- Kirkus Reviews

    The textbook was better than described. It looks like brand new! The price was appropriate for the type of textbook that it is. The appearance and quality of the textbook was impeccable. The shipping took about 2 weeks to arrive, but the textbook was well worth the wait. Seller packaged my textbook beautifully which ensured that it arrived unharmed and in perfect condition. Excellent seller! I would purchase more items from this seller in the future!

    This beautiful story will touch your heart.

    This is a beautiful true story; it is well illustrated. I read this book to our children every year at Christmas. I bought this one to give to my good friend, so that she can start a tradition with her grandchildren.
