About this listen

Frances Bloom lives all alone in a cottage by the sea. She's having a marvellous time until her nasty teacher, Ms Thistle, learns there is no one looking after her. Frances needs to find a family, quick smart, or she'll be sent away to Bleak Island Home for Unwanted Children and Dogs.

As hard as Frances looks, nobody meets her high standards... until she stumbles across a large, honey-coloured bear raiding the rubbish bins... and a garden gnome fishing in the flowerbed. Welcome, Grandma Maude and Grandpa Harold!
