Book Review: An Orange for Frankie
In this book An Orange for Frankie by Patricia Polacco, it tells about a 10 year old boy named Frankie who gives up his favorite sweater to a hobo passing through town on a train. He also subsequently loses his Christmas orange. When he finally tells his mom about his orange, and how he gave up his favorite sweater, they are touched by his generosity and charity. And his family (brothers and sisters) rally to make his Christmas a special one.

Hello Karen! Hope it's okay that I found your blog. I love this book as well- isn't Patricia Polocco an amazing author! We get to do a unit on her in a few weeks in our classroom.
