Books with author Jan Francis

A delightful picture book for kids! Noah is in his bedroom, reading his favourite book, when something unusual happens. He runs to tell his mum and from then on the day just gets stranger and stranger… Repetitive texts are an essential part of every toddler and preschool library. A predictable story, repeated phrases and a simple pattern encourage children to become active participants as you read aloud to them. With all of these attributes, “They Can’t Talk!” is a perfect stepping-stone in the reading development process.

I have, however, one comfort in all this miserable business, and that is, I can have the pleasure of restoring the ring; the one you lost last night, and that you so very highly prize. I found it sighs at Lady Lisle's, in the boudoir, at about one o'clock; it dropped, I think, off Mrs. Diamond's finger, as I picked it up just where she sat. Hands him the ring. Capt. D. Takes the ring; looks very much confused. (Aside.) So that is what it all means. How like a fool I must look, and how confoundedly like a fool I feel! Aloud. Flora, you have, I fear, more, after all, to forgive than I have; but do not for a moment believe my going was premeditated. Some of our fellows went, and persuaded me to accompany them: a brother officer took my duty. Above all, do not think I gave away your ring to any one. Come, let us be friends, my darling, and forget it all. Lady F. Oh, Charley, and I believed in you so entirely! Capt. D. And believe me still, Flo. I would not lose a smile from your lips, or bring a frown to your brow, to please all the women in London. Mrs. D. That is very charming. Now, like good children, kiss and be friends; and for ever forget this ring's little misadventure. Capt. D. I shall always keep this, and replace it in your jewel-box by the prettiest at Emanuel's to-morrow. Lady F. Ah, Charley, you gave me one at St. George's, three months ago, that I would not exchange for all in his establishment. Mrs. D. Very prettily said. Now let us go into the park.
