"th" is one of the last sounds to acquire, so it makes sense to replace it. Th-fronting is the pronunciation of the English "th" is usually as "f" or "v". The most common error with Lynn Johnston is that she does it inconsistently. Here are panels where April can and cannot pronounce "th".
{W}hen a personage talks like an illustrated, gilt-edged, tree-calf, hand-tooled, seven-dollar Friendship's Offering in the beginning of a paragraph, he shall not talk like a negro minstrel in the end of it. But this rule is flung down and danced upon in the Patterson tale.

To paraphrase Mark Twain,
{W}hen a personage talks like an illustrated, gilt-edged, tree-calf, hand-tooled, seven-dollar Friendship's Offering in the beginning of a paragraph, he shall not talk like a negro minstrel in the end of it. But this rule is flung down and danced upon in the Patterson tale.
